Healthy Hot Chocolate

I love hot chocolate, but hate the sugar.  So I found a healthy alternative.

In a mug, add 2-3 Tablespoons of cocoa with 1/4 cup water.  Microwave for 15-20 seconds and then stir.  Add in 1 cup of milk and microwave for 1:30 minutes or 2 depending on how hot you want your cocoa!  Sweeten with honey to taste.

Yummy!

Healthy Ice Cream

This recipe provides a soft serve ice cream alternative!  I have enjoyed adding in new things and changing up the taste.

Put these ingredients in a blender:
1 frozen banana (as soon as I see bananas going brown, I freeze them for future smoothies (ice cream) or banana bread)
1/4 cup of milk or a little more, depending on how soft you want your ice cream - or smoothie
Blend!

Add-ins:
*Add 2 Tablespoons peanut butter powder (a great use for food storage!)
*Or add 2-3 Tablespoons cocoa powder (the banana sweetens the ice cream)
*Or both
*Vanilla
*Frozen berries

The list could go on and on, but these are pretty healthy, and add a clean variety of flavors!
