Fronanas

Have you guys ever heard of "fronanas". It stands for "frozen bananas" and they are delicious. There are advertisements on TV for a special gadget you can buy to make fronanas "ice cream" but you don't have to waste your money to get yummy fronanas ice cream...



Get some ripe bananas. This is the perfect time to use up all those bananas that are turning brown.



Peel and slice your bananas and arrange on a single layer on a plate or cookie sheet.



Place your bananas in the freezer for 1-2 hours.



Put your frozen bananas in a food processor and blend them until they start to look like soft serve ice cream. Scrape the sides along the way...



Why not add some extra nutrition and flavor to your treat? I added a few scoops of peanut butter and a couple spoonfuls of ovaltine but you can experiment and try adding other flavorings like cinnamon, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, etc...



Doesn't this look like ice cream? Your kids will think you are a genius.



You can enjoy your fronanas "ice cream" now or put it back in the freezer for later.

It is no Carl's Ice Cream but you can't really complain for being made entirely of fruit!
