I have eaten this 2 days in a row. Yesterday with oatmeal pancakes from smitten kitchen. Today I added peanut butter to it and ate it with apple slices. It is so good! My girls 3 and 8 also like it!

I made this today with a regular (not brown) banana and microwaved for 2 minutes instead of one… and then I ate it with a fork. Good stuff.

I did try it in the Magic Bullet and it was awesome on fresh California strawberries from California–served it as birthday dessert for my husband. We all loved it.

Hi Roni! I’ve been a reader for a while but never commented. I just wanted to say I tried the dipping sauce last night and LOVED it!! I’ll definitely be repeating this many times in the future! It was yummy with apple slices. :) I’m purchasing a hand blender today…maybe I’ll try to make the mixture smoother with that?? Thanks for the simple and yummy recipe!

Yes, Roni, this was awesome, used frozen bananas—might try it in the Magic Bullet to get more of the lumps out.

Yum, that’s the right way to enjoy a banana! Ha ha… I will definitely try it. I LOVE chocolate dipped strawberries and this would be a healthier alternative.

This is great, every time I buy bananas it seems they go “fruit fly” bad in this house (we aren’t the biggest banana fans, you see). This gives me a reason to buy bananas because I have a 1 lb chocolate Santa sitting in my kitchen that needs to disappear slowly, as opposed to fast i.e. during a movie.

You could totally skip the yogurt for a 2 ingredient ice cream treat!

This looks fabulous! I’ll definitely keep this in mind.
Andrea, to turn your bananas brown faster… put them in a brown paper bag and in a window seal that has plenty of sun. It will ripen them faster. Hope that helps.

Just made it, and ate it all with a spoon. No dippers…soooo good for about 100 calories.
It was a great snack!
Thank you!

Andrea- Closing them in a brown paper bag will do it with a quickness! It takes a full day or two for a greenish one to get really brown when in the bag. The bag holds in all the ethylene gas, which speeds the ripening. You can through other fruits in the bag with the banana, and the ethylene gas will ripen them as well!

Fun fact: the brown is a sign that the antioxidant levels have risen

Yay!

Wow, that looks amazing. I can’t wait to try it either!

Andrea: I’ve heard that putting a banana with an apple in a brown paper bag and letting it sit(overnight I’m guessing..?)ripens the banana fast. I’ve never actually tried it though!

That looks really good & its so low in calories. Can’t wait to try, but you’re right.. strawberries would be GREAT with that!

O. M. G.!!!!!! I feel a psychic wave coming over me…Yup, it’s saying that this will be my new addiction! Thank You Roni!!!

Now, does anybody know how to turn green bananas to brown…really fast??? It’ll be torture waiting!!!
