Recipe Instructions:

Ingredients
4 Ripe bananas
2-3 tablespoons of cocoa

How to Make It
Peel and slice four ripe bananas into 1/4-in. thick slices and place them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Then, freeze the bananas for two hours or overnight. Flash-freezing them in this way, rather than jumbled in a bag or container, ensures the individual pieces won’t clump together.

Once the slices are approximately 80% frozen (let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes if they freeze beyond this point), toss them in the food processor. Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of cacao or cocoa powder. Process the ingredients until smooth, about two to three minutes, and portion out into four dishes or bowls. Serve the frosty treat immediately.

To keep it as nutritious as possible, we stick to fresh berries for toppers, but jazz up your serving however you please. Think whipped cream, chocolate chips, caramel or chocolate ice cream topping, or any of these other sundae inspirations.

Aside from the freezing, this recipe should take you no more than five minutes to prepare. So, yeah, you could say weeknights just got a whole lot sweeter!
