1. Chocolate- Dipped Frozen Banana Bites: First freeze bite-size banana chunks in the freezer, and melt dark chocolate until it is completely smooth. Then dip the banana chunks into the newly melted chocolate, and roll them in toasted unsweetened coconut, or chopped nuts.
2. Pineapple- Yogurt Pops: Stir pureed pineapple into vanilla yogurt, then pour this mixture in ice-pop molds, and freeze.
3. Cream-Filled Strawberries: Split the strawberry down the middle, and stuff with low-fat whipped cream.
4. Frozen Yogurt Dots: Fill a Ziploc bag with Yoplait yogurt (pick your favorite flavor, mine’s strawberry!) and cut a hole on the tip. Squeeze dots on a pan, freeze, and enjoy!
5. Guilt-Free Ice Cream: Slice up four ripe banana, and freeze for about 2 hours. Place the frozen pieces in the blender, or a food processor, blend with peanut butter, and serve!
