Oatmeal? Quinoa? Try again!

This looks like oatmeal or quinoa or something, but it's not! So I found out when I put frozen banana pieces in my Ninja food processor, it comes out like powder type pieces. You can add a bit of skim milk to make it like ice cream (or invest in a yonana machine), but I added PB2 powder and ate it like it was Dippin Dots! Melted right in my mouth. I feel like you can't go wrong with banana and Peanut Butter for Breakfast. I'm in the pureed phase, my NUT OKed both bananas and PB2, and I'll definitely keep eating this long after I'm out of pureed. It's a great treat too because you can just make a little bit at a time.

@@Sara51692 WOW... that's actually what a frozen banana looks like out of a Ninja? Did you add anything else to it when you blended it, or did you just throw the banana in there?

[Sara51692 162]

Just frozen banana and PB2 powder. The stuff closer to the bottom is blended wetter a different if you add a dash of skim milk, it goes right to ice cream consistency, like you'd get if you used a yonana machine. The Dippin Dots form was pretty fun to eat!

That sounds delicious!

Thanks! It's very filling, even if bananas are a little carby.

I eat all fruit. These are good carbs and you need them to balance out your meals. My nut focuses heavily on balance not abstinence. You will be more successful in maintenance or so I am told.

Yeah, my NUT hasn't expressed any concerns yet about the carbs in fruit - then again, I'm only 3.5 weeks post-op so we'll see what she says later on. I plan on incorporating fruit into my diet, because I love it. I'll never stop eating bananas!
