One lonely can of coconut milk

Last Wednesday night I had plans to go to hot yoga. I hydrated all day long then realized that they changed the schedule on me and Men's Yoga was in my usual time slot. I went to the class anyway. Okay no I didn't, I lack balls. Obviously or I would have been invited in. But it would have made a good story. So Tuesday night I make plans to go to hot yoga...but it was power vinyasa and it would have killed me. So instead I made these yummy recipes with one lonely can of coconut milk. It was like a yoga retreat...without the yoga.

Banana Ice Cream Recipe - Daily Unadventures in Cooking: "Raw Banana Ice Cream Recipe"(makes 1 big serving)

Adapted from here

2 1/2 frozen bananas
2 tablespoons water (or almond milk, or regular milk, or light coconut milk)

optional add-ins: a Chunk of dark chocolate, a handful of almonds, etc


Add frozen bananas to a food processor or vitamixer. Add water and blend for 5 minutes or until blended scraping sides of bowl occasionally.

Tip- I used very ripe bananas I had in the freezer for banana bread. Frozen in their peel. I nearly got frostbite trying to peel the suckers. Run under warm water for a few seconds if bananas are frozen in peel.
