Choco Peanut Butter Banana Soft Serve

April 20, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 29 Comments

Howdy,

How are you Guys?  Well today was the first hot day, woohoo, and I was half tempted to put the AC on, but I didn’t.  So with that, I thought I would make the most awesomeness dessert ever.  Well not ever, but it’s pretty darn good.  The only problem I have is I only got one salvageable picture.  My battery pooped out when I took the first picture.    So I started clicking, for hopes of a good picture.  Nope it didn’t happen for me.  I am so sad for that because I wanted so badly to show you my dessert.  I’m half tempted to make it again so I can show you, but it really filled me up.   I’m sitting here thinking about….  Still thinking….

Still thinking….

Ok, I thought long enough and I made another one.


Was that horrible to make another?  Well, as long as I didn’t eat it, right?  Well, I ate it!  Who can have decadent chocolate, creamy peanut butter and sweet banana and not eat it?  It’s chocolate and peanut butter for crying out loud.  It’s like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit and not letting him eat it, no matter how full he is.  Hey at least it’s healthy!  I could have eaten a bag of chips or something.  You think differently of me don’t you?

This dessert really satisfied my sweet tooth and is a suburb replacement for ice cream.  I think I actually like this better than ice cream.  I love a good soft serve and the combination of banana and peanut butter is like magic.  I of course topped it with a few mini peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s.  I love those little guys, aren’t they cute?  I bet processing them in my soft serve would be a great idea, but I didn’t think of that till right now.  Next time for sure!

This would make a wonderful pre-workout snack.  It has 800 grams of potassium, 6 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein and no sugar added and it was so sweet!!!  The banana is a perfect fruit and makes a perfect anytime snack!

Did you know that eating two banana’s before a workout will give you enough energy to workout for one and a half hours?  It also makes for a great afternoon snack when your feeling tired.  So skip the caffeine and reach for a banana.  A few other benefits of a banana are as follows; helps lower cholesterol, promotes good bone health do to the potassium, soothes protection against ulcers, it’s good for your heart and nervous system, mood enhancer and a mild sedative, has the highest natural source of vitamin B6 which helps protects the immune system and it comes prepackaged in its own skin and is inexpensive fruit.  So grab a banana and enjoy it!!!

Want to know a lazy secret?  I freeze my banana’s with the skin on.  It keeps their shape, protects against frost and when you peel the banana the color is a nice yellow-white and there not mushy!  I just take my paring knife and peel the banana.  It peels very easily, but the only thing is, your hands will get cold.  So when you have some bananas on the counter and there starting to get to ripe and you don’t have time to use them, just toss in the freezer as is.  I didn’t think it would work, but it’s perfect.  It makes life easier and I didn’t have to waste a freezer bag.  Frozen bananas are the best.  They also defrost easily and you can use them in your baking.  As I am writing this, I better stock up and get some more banana’s and soon!  With a dessert like I had tonight, ok two desserts, I will be wanting this in the very near future again.  I’m thinking tomorrow!  he he

Enjoy my Choco Peanut Butter Banana Soft Serve, but just stick to one, not two, but that maybe hard!

Well, it’s past my bed time!  Have a wonderful Friday!!  I’m off today, it’s a pamper Jennifer Day!!!!

Good night!

Jennifer

    If I had extra bananas around, I would have made and eaten two whether my pictures had turned out or not! So at least you had an excuse. Sounds majorly delicious! This is the kind of dessert I need in my life!

    I love how you were tempted to put the AC on today. It was pushing almost 100 here in LA today. It was bad.

    And this ice cream, oh my word. I’m so glad you don’t need an ice cream machine for this!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
