Banana "ice cream". Freeze up a banana or two, slice, and put it through your blender or food processor. You can eat it as is for a soft serve kind of consistency or freeze it a little longer if you like it more firm, and you can flavor it however you want! I love blending in some peanut butter 'cause I'm an absolute fiend for it, whereas my boyfriend finds that too overwhelming and opts for honey for a subtler sweetness.

take a banana, put a light coat of yogurt over it and stick a popsicle stick in there. a nice frozen treat!
if you use a light plain yogurt it should be 100 calories or less

I make a pumpkin cake using the spice cake mix, can of pumpkin, & one cup of water. Mix the three together & bake. It is good with or without frosting. Do not use any of the directions on the cake box, just the three ingredients listed. My family & friends love it.

yogurt and fresh fruit (cantaloupe, pineapple, blueberries)


add a little cool whip to that and a banana (yes, I believe bananas are good smile ) and it becomes an awesome desert type tasting thingy.

I like a mix of Kroger brand Tropical Trail Mix and the Golden Temple Blueberry Flax Granola ... answers my sweet tooth.

But I also like just plain red seedless grapes, or fresh strawberries. with both, no freezing necessary ... how simple is that????
