Banana and Cocoa Mush
This is a recent find of mine. I am diabetic and this is a nice sweet treat that is not bad for me! I love it because it's healthy, yummy and quick to make. All you need is a fork and a bowl, so you could make this in your lunch hour. I have thought that I might add some nuts to it next time to for a bit of crunch.

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 tsp. cocoa powder
  • A drip or two of vanilla essence
  • Nuts (optional)

Directions:

Just peel and mash your ripe bananas in a bowl. The add your cocoa powder. A drip or two of vanilla essence is optional. I thought that I next time I make some I might add some hazelnuts or roughly chopped Brazil nuts for extra vitamins.

I freeze some of them too for a nice 'ice-cream', I use yogurt pots for these and then pop them into ziplock bags.

That's always the way Tejasridgerunner.
I only like new bananas to eat and dislike them when they become ripe...now I know what to do with them.
It's so very simple and a delicious chocolately treat without the sugar and calories. I am so pleased to share my tip with you all.
Thanks for leaving comments :)

Why didn't I read this before I threw 2 bananas away? This is great, both my husband and I are diabetic.
