Bananas are nature's candy bars.

Truly, Bananas are a delicious gift from Heaven. And yesterday I ate one! This is how:

Frozen Banana Fudge Bar

Ingredients:
1 medium (~4 oz) banana
1 scoop chocolate HMR 120 shake mix (or 500/800/70+)

Directions:
1. Slice banana into a bowl, then mash it.
2. Mix in 70+ powder. (JUST the powder; you don't even need to add water!)
3. Spoon mixture into Ziploc snack size bag, seal bag, and freeze.

When it's frozen, just peel back the Ziploc, and enjoy a delicious treat. It's so good. And the possibilities for variation are pretty much endless:
-add PB2 or instant coffee granules
-heat some strawberries till soft and mushy, then mash and combine with vanilla shake
-use canned pumpkin (w/ pumpkin pie spice & Splenda) mixed with chocolate or vanilla shake
-natural/no sugar added applesauce (w/ a bit of apple pie spice/Splenda?) mixed with vanilla shake
-you could probably puree just about any fruit and/or mix in any Jello, SF syrup, or extract

I can't wait to try more!

I also tried making a "cream of broccoli soup" last night. I combined one chicken soup mix, 6 oz hot water, and one serving of broccoli in a Magic Bullet and blended it, then stirred in an additional serving of broccoli. It wasn't that great. The Magic Bullet made it really frothy, which is kind of weird in a soup, and it was pretty bland. Maybe using a regular blender and adding some flavor (garlic, onion, salt, pepper, parmesan-garlic popcorn seasoning...) would make it better.
