Instructions: I use frozen bananas to make a drink that can serve as an almost-instant breakfast, a milkshake for a snack, or a diet liquid meal. I just take a frozen banana, about 8 ounces of milk (I use 1%), a tablespoon or so of nonfat dry milk powder, and either a shot of chocolate syrup (some are fat free) OR a heaping tablespoon or so of carob powder (which adds iron, I think, and some other nutrients). It is
*very* filling, cold, creamy and delicious.

I usually freeze bananas with
the skins on, because they keep forever this way - but it is a cold and tricky thing to get the skins off without getting frostbite. I frequently throw a frozen banana in the mini-container of my blender as an ice cream substitute. It just takes a minute or two - after the chunks of banana break up, you blend it a bit longer to eliminate any ice crystals and a very creamy soft-serve ice cream texture is attained.
