Recipes from Gail

Don't know what to do with all those ripe bananas in this hot, humid weather? Too hot to bake banana bread? Try two of my favorite cool ways to use them up. Not only are they delicious but they'll give you and anyone who enjoys them with you a boost of energy!

Banana Shake

2 Frozen, Peeled, Sliced Bananas
1 Banana flavored Light n Fit yogurt
1 Scoop Soy Protein(if desired)
2 Cups milk
Mix all ingredients in blender until desired thickness. This recipe also works well with frozen strawberries and raspberries. Mix your favorite frozen fruits and yogurts to make your own delicious shakes! Enjoy!


Frozen Banana Popsicles

Ripe Bananas
Popsicle sticks(can be found in craft store)
Semi-sweet chocolate morsels (approximately 1 cup per 4 Banana halves)

Halve Bananas, push each half onto a popsicle stick. Place on cookie sheet and freeze until firm. Once Frozen, melt chocolate morsels and roll banana pops in melted chocolate. Chocolate will harden quickly.

For an extra treat roll Banana pop in melted peanut butter and then chocolate! Add chopped nuts, coconut and/or sprinkles to any combination for an extra special pop!

I hope you enjoy these recipes! Feel free to send me your feedback as well as any creative modifications you've made to these yummy banana treats!
