Want to know how I made Peanut Butter Banana Soft-Serve? Read on to the end! 🙂
This week saw me blogging daily for the third week in a row, yay! It finally dawned on me that if I wanted people to take my blog seriously, then I would have to take it seriously myself. I now find myself thinking about my blog all the time and taking pictures constantly, thinking “hmmm, I might need a photo of this for my blog…”
So how did I make my Peanut Butter Banana Soft-Serve? It’s so easy, just place two frozen bananas, one cup of frozen mango chunks, two tablespoons of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of non-dairy milk, a splash of vanilla and one teaspoon of carob powder (optional) in a food processor, and run until smooth.
Enjoy!

Carrie, so sorry to hear about your dad. Anyone who enjoys the Far Side is awesome in my book, and I hope his words of wisdom provide comfort now and down the road. 🙂
Thank you so much, Jill!
It occurred to me today as I was heating up water that fearing the pressure cooker exploding is much like my fear that the teakettle will explode lol.
Hi Robyn! It’s a good thing I don’t have a teakettle, I would probably worry about that, too. 🙂
I admire you for making more space in your life for your blog. I often find myself thinking how I can better rearrange and time manage so I can reach my humble audience more often. It’s no secret- the best blogs have owners who blog often, so kudos Carrie!
Hi Carrie,
I really enjoy reading your blog. Thanks for all the effort you put into it. My question is–what is the best pressure cooker to purchase? I have one but there are no speeds on it, just amount of time. When I cook beans I don’t even pre-soak because the pressure cooker cooks them in 4 minutes.
Thanks again.
Monica
Hi Monica! Thanks for reading and for the nice comment. To be honest, I can’t recommend an exact pressure cooker right now because I’m such a beginner. I would advise you to get an electric one (as opposed to stove top) and spend about $60-75. But, it sounds like yours sounds like it’s just fine for what you need so you probably don’t need a new one.
I am curious about what program you are in right now (school-wise). I am a nurse with a BSN and am very interested in Public Health and Nutrition. I would love to become a R.D. Are you in two separate programs? Just curious. Any details would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
Hi Courtney! My MPH program is through the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and the RD program is thought the University of Northern Colorado, both online. Let me know if you have any other questions, I’d love to help!
Hi Carrie, I clicked over from Gabby;s page – I’m a peanut butter banana soft serve lover too! Never thought to put mango in it. THats different! So sorry to hear about your dad. I cant even begin to image such a loss. Sending prayers your way. I looove Kindkreme too! Did a post on it here http://www.sweetlyraw.com/2010/09/la-vacation-julianos-and-raw-ice-cream.html
Thanks, Heather! This was a post from earlier this year, but I do appreciate your kind words on my dad’s passing. I loved reading about your visit to KindKreme! Let me know if you are ever back in the LA area!!! 🙂
Doh! I didnt even notice the date. I am SO sorry about that! Anyway, I hope you are doing much better now. I love LA! I went to all the raw restaurants in the area and was in heaven 🙂 Will definitely let you know when I return. Would be fun to hit up KindKreme and other places together!
No problem, Heather, condolences are always welcome when it comes to losing a parent. I am doing much better now, thanks so much for your sweet note.
This looks fab! I am looking forward to trying some of it soon =-)
I have to admit I was super leary of using frozen mango but it came out delicious!!!
Great!!! 🙂
I recently bought a pressure cooker and use it for everything from stocks to stews to braises. Before buying one I didn’t think I needed it but after buying one I just fell in love with mine. If you’re thinking of buying one but can’t decide which one to buy, go to this site to read reviews. They do a good job explaining the pros and cons and tell you which one would suit all budgets.
