As always, my children are ravenous when they open the door to come in after school. "What's for snack?" is asked at approximately 0.5 seconds after walking in the house. I have come to dread this time 'cause I don't like having to come up with more food options. I already plan 3 meals every day, snacks just about push me over the edge.
I know, I know, I can list all the options out, the kids can pick, and get it themselves, they can always have fruit (but with C's lack of teeth, I still have to cut the hard stuff up for her), I can do a lot of things to make it easier. But, frankly, I just don't do that.
But, I have stumbled upon the best snack ever..well, so far this year anyway.
Get out your blender, chop up a frozen banana (you might need to add a bit of milk so it doesn't freeze up the blades, no I didn't measure the amount, just eyeball it, you know you want to anyway) and blend away. It comes out like banana ice cream and it's really, really creamy. I added a bit of chocolate syrup 'cause everything's better with chocolate on it.
Sooooooo tasty.
Next time I'm gonna try peanut butter. Oh, then maybe peanut butter and chocolate together!
Guess I need to plan more of these kind of snacks.
Oh, and the kids? They totally thought I had made ice cream. Score!!
