Slender Monkey (healthful dessert)


Clever Name

Apologies to Ben & Jerry's and any folks who are offended by animal names in recipes!

 

Freeze a banana (peel it first and put it in a ziploc bag).

 

Top with Hi-lo cereal and slivered almonds (or other nut of your choosing).

 

Optional if you can afford the fat and sugar: chocolate

 

Scrape the frozen banana with a spoon to get some frosty, sorbet-like banana...eat it with the hi-lo and almonds, and it's like you're having a banana-nut ice cream cone! And I'm sure it is even tastier with the chocolate!

 

The preceding was taste-test approved by my omni husband, who generally doesn't like healthful food, either.

Hi-lo is a special cereal I get at Whole Foods. It's got lots of protein and tastes like graham crackers.

 

Apologies to Ben & Jerry's because they have a flavor of ice cream called Chunky Monkey. Banana ice cream with walnuts and dark chocolate. Very tasty...and now available (at least a similar concoction) from Purely Decadent (Soy Delicious brand) as a flavor called Swinging Anna Banana. Of course, my recipe is more nutritious...probably not quite as tasty, though!

 

And I do recognize Ben and Jerry's ought to be the ones apologizing...to the cowies.
