Bananas!  It’s a super easy recipe and is great for cooling the summer heat!  Thanks Marsha! Enjoy Everyone! Ingredients: 1 very ripe bunch of large bananas 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp of Cardamom Sucanat Sugar to taste if desired (but likely not needed) *Stevia, Agave, or Truvia may be used instead. Preparation: Allow the bunch of bananas to ripen until the skin is spotted brown (not overly ripe). Cut the bananas and place into large mixing bowl (or blender/vitamix if you have it).  Add cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla extract.  Blend until smooth. Add Sucanat sugar (or sugar substitute such as stevia, truvia, or agave) to taste if desired.  Place in freezer for 30 -45 min. Enjoy! **Tips: You can add organic dark chocolate chips if desired or chunks of strawberries after you have blended the bananas to add a little texture!
