Banana "froyo"

Do you own a food processor?
Do you like bananas at all?

If you answered "yes" to both of those you should seriously try this.  Not only is this delicious, it's also healthy and vegan!

Ingredients:

  • Bananas
Optional Ingredients:
  • Peanut Butter
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Chocolate
  • Caramel syrup
  • Nuts
  • Anything else you can think of
Directions:
  1. Wait for your bananas to get brown spots.
  2. Peel the bananas and break them into 1.5" (ish) chunks and put them on a wax paper lined plate in the freezer.
  3. Once frozen, transfer to a bag until ready to make banana "froyo"
  4. Put the fully frozen bananas in the food processor
  5. Turn the food processor on
  6. Wait
  7. The bananas will turn into little bits that are about dippin' dots size.  This is a good time to turn the food processor off and add any mix-ins
  8. Scrape down the sides and turn the food processor back on
  9. The bananas will form a giant glob and barely touch the blade.  When this happens, take a break from processing and smush the blob down to sort-of evenly distributed around blade-level
  10. Process some more until fully blended and froyo-like consistency
  11. Eat immediately
The banana "froyo" stores ok but not great so it's best if you blend this up when you are about to eat it.  You can try re-blending the frozen froyo too but it won't be quite the same.
Brown bananas are best since they are sweeter than the yellow and green ones, also the nearly mushy consistency that makes them less desirable for regular snacking is what makes them blend so well.
Don't skip step 2.  Bananas are way easier to peel and cut before they are frozen.
The result tastes like banana flavored froyo.  Some people will tell you this doesn't taste like bananas at all but they are lying.
