You can imagine that I don’t eat pies every day, or even every week. A more typical sweet treat for me is simply fruit or a banana whip. This is a banana whip with more fruit added. The strawberry portion has 1/2 of a vanilla bean scraped, 2 c. of strawberries, 2/3 of a fresh banana, and 1.5 frozen bananas. The mango part has 1.5 mangos chopped, 2/3 of a fresh banana, and 1.5 frozen bananas. You have to freeze it a little bit more; and stir it every 15 min. for about an hour until it’s ready.

(for those that don’t know what a banana whip is, it’s bananas, chopped up, and frozen; then they are placed in a food processor, Vita-Mix, Champion juicer with blank attachment, or even a Magic Bullet, and blended (optional: add water or juice, a tablespoon at a time to facilitate blending or thaw the bananas for 10 min.). Bananas have a creamy consistency after being frozen. There’s really no reason for me to ever have even a raw-food ice cream made of nuts and coconut when I can just throw in some bananas and cinnamon or other fruit.
