34. Make Popsicles and 17. Make Ice Cream

We were able to mark off a few more things on our summer fun list last week.  We made our first batch of popsicles from this awesome book of healthy recipes:

We started with a banana-strawberry popsicle, aka: The Pink Princess. 

I'm sure these will not be the last popsicles we make from this book. There are chapters on fruit pops, veggie pops, yogurt pops, tofu pops, herbal tea pops, chocolate pops and specialty pops. Yum!

Later on in the week I made ice cream.  This ice cream was actually made in the food processor from frozen bananas!  You simply whirl together frozen banana slices, some peanut butter, and a little honey until smooth. After that stir in chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips (or in our case, peanut butter chips), and you have "chunky monkey" ice cream.  You can find the recipe here.  It really was good. We will definitely be trying some of the other variations.
