Slice a banana. Blend your banana until the texture becomes ice cream-like. Add toppings and enjoy!  

Cacao Cinnamon Yogurt

• Ground cinnamon

Add about 1 cup of yogurt per person, sprinkle cinnamon and cacao nibs over the yogurt.  

Chocolate Butter Rice Cakes

What you’ll need

• Rice cakes
• PB2

Mix the PB2 with a bit of water until the consistency becomes that of melted chocolate. Drizzle over the rice cakes and enjoy.  

Homemade Oatmeal Cookies

What you’ll need

• Old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 banana
• A blender

Blend the oats. Mash your banana until gooey. Mix the banana and oats together. Place cookies onto a cookie sheet (this recipe will yield about 4 cookies).
