You don’t have to risk a $75 parking ticket just to run in to get your Frogurt, Tasti, or Pinkberry.  This dairy-free frozen treat is  homemade , 100 percent fruit, and practically free.  Chopped nuts add crunch and protein to this creamy snack. Artificial afternoon treats melt in comparison to this “banana fro-yo” adapted from one of our  favorite sites, Skinny In The City.

Total Prep Time: 2-3 hours (freezing bananas)

Total Cook Time: 5-7 minutes

Serves: 1

Ingredients:
* 2 small sized frozen bananas (approx 6”), peeled and cut into chunks
* ½ oz (1/8th cup or 12 almonds) raw almonds, chopped

Food Processor

Directions:
1. Cut bananas into chunks and place in freezer until frozen (approximately 2 to 3 hours.)
2. Take the bananas and put them in your food processor.
3. Turn the processor on and let it run for about five to seven minutes, stopping every now and then to scrape it down. (The bananas should get increasingly light, fluffy, and smooth, resembling a creamy bowl of soft serve.)

*For an extra treat drizzle one half teaspoon chocolate syrup on top!
