Better than Ben & Jerry’s!

Fear not, I would never deceive you: ‘tis true, I have truly found something better than Ben & Jerry’s and it’s healty, vegan, low-fat and raw…

It all started with the left over green smoothie I had from Halloween, which I froze and well the results are stunning.

Who knew this transformation was possible?

To mad-tasty B&J look a like!

 

So I offer you…

My Better ‘n B&J recipe

  • Frozen left over green smoothie
  • 2 ripe bananas

Bananas to exponentially increase the yum-factor

 

And use your food processor to mix it all up into a smooth, wonderful and tasty ice cream!

And voilà, instant ice-cream.

It really reminded me of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The texture was actually that of rich chocolate ice cream, but the flavour was blueberry banana: like a cross between Chunky Monkey and Berry Mango Swirl, minus the chocolate chips and the mango :P

Difficult to describe but very tasty!

Of course, I couldn’t just have that little bowl of ice cream – I was hungry! So I ate the whole thing :)

Now, I’m about to go into my exam week next week! And I haven’t study yet (oh no!) So I’ll be a little inactive, cause I really want to do my best: after all, this is senior year.

But anyway, a shout out to my bloggies, whom I love. Loved your comments, especially the ones from my fellow Silk-Road-loving nerds ;) and Neela, I’m holding you to that! This summer gehen wir nach Deutschland, baby!

But I have a few things to ask of you guys… so I have made this mini-poll-questionnaire

I’d really appreciate you guys answering these  questions, they’d help me improve my blog and increase your reading pleasure ;)

Love you!

    I’m going to have to try that ice cream sometime, if we ever have leftover smoothie. With four people in the house, I may just have to intentionally make smoothie to freeze.

    Hugs and Mangoes,

    Man, I need a food processor, I am missing out on so much frozen fun!

    P.S. I voted for picture #2, although both are super cute!!
