Banana and strawberry "ice-cream"

A few weeks ago while browsing through my old pins on Pinterest I came across a recipe for a healthy banana and strawberry mock ice-cream.

I tried it on a beautiful sunny day and it was divine! Olivia and I devoured it. I loved it freshly blended but she enjoyed it more as a frozen ice-lolly.

Try it! It's easy, quick and delicious!

Ingredients

1 banana sliced/diced then frozen

A handful of strawberries also chopped and frozen

2 tablespoons of whatever yoghurt you have

A hint of vanilla extract/essence (optional)

Next time I think I'll add a few fresh leaves of mint (We have plenty!)

Method

Blend all the ingredients until you get a creamy consistency. Depending on the strength of your blender, you might have to add small amounts of the frozen fruit at a time.

Enjoy immediately or freeze into popsicles!

Dear Olivia,

There are few things quite as pure and beautiful as childlikeness. You innocently believed that you were"hidden" behind that hairband as we played hide and seek! I promise to always nurture that childlike spirit and never rush you to "grow up".

Love,

Mama
