If you think eating healthy means no desserts, you think wrong. Rev. George Maklmus dreamed this one up and it's so easy, you'll be eating it in 10 minutes from reading this blog, that is if.... you have frozen bananas in the fridge. If not, get some bananas, peel them, and freeze them in zip lock bags and you will be ready tomorrow for this treat.
My husband loves ice cream but rarely eats it anymore because dairy is not good for you: hormones, fat, lactose sensitivities, lowered immune system, and more. So when I saw this recipe today at www.hacres.com I flipped.
We made it and had some and I'm still licking my lips, it was so good. In the picture you see a sprig of mint decorating it. That's easy if you grow mint, outside in a pot, in the ground, on the deck, anywhere.
