This recipe is from Jean Carper, "Eat Smart", USA Weekend, June 5-7, 1998. Believe it or not, each serving contains ONLY 8% fat!
CHOCOLATE BANANA FROSTIE
4 very ripe bananas
5 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup toasted almond slivers (optional)
Peel bananas, cut in chunks and put in foil or freezer bags; freeze until hard. In a food processor blend all ingredients except almonds until smooth. Spoon into parfait glasses or small dessert dishes; top with optional almond slivers, and serve immediately.
Serves 2.

Yes this looks good! Do you think I could sub soy milk for rice?

That does sound soooo yummy! It's funny, just a little while ago I was in the process of making my usual banana smoothie with rice milk (because that's what was chilled) and sugar, and on a whim decided to add a little cocoa powder. It was fantastic!! It seems like such a simple thing, but I had never tried it. It was just like a thick, creamy malted milkshake. I can't wait to try it again now. And I bet your recipe tastes very similar! I can't wait to try it when the weather gets warmer.

Hi Bev,
Just had 2 questions for you about this recipe. First, when you say the bananas need to be very ripe, what do you consider very ripe...blackening? black?
Second, I know it says to serve immediately, but will it keep for a bit in the fridge covered in Saran or something? Or if you don't eat it all right away is it pretty much toast?
Thanks!

Kelly, don't tell anyone, but ..... I haven't made this. I came across the old recipe just the other day by accident, and said to myself: "Self! This sounds great!" I waited for my bananas to get good and ripe (and, yes, black is good), then cut them up and put them in the freezer.
Unfortunately, I forgot about them -- until just now, that is, when I saw your post! Ooops. I WILL make them, probably tomorrow, now that I've been reminded (thanks!) -- but I'm cutting the recipe in half. I doubt it will keep in the fridge very well, and hubby won't eat it -- so I have to make only enough for me. By the way, I'm eliminating the almond slivers; I can't have nuts because of my diverticulosis.
Let me know how yours comes out, 'kay?

Kelly, I'd guess that as long as the bananas are at least a little squishy they'd be fine... especially since you're going to be pureeing them anyway!

You snuck in here! When did you get back? How was the Adirondacks? And your ankle? Did you post in The Living Room? (I haven't gone there yet....)

Lol! I admit it, I snuck in here before I went to the Living Room! But yep, I'm back, and there's a post there about my trip. It was great, and I even felt good enough to have my first glass of wine in about 6 months.  
I see you girls did a great job holding down the fort here while I was gone!

Hi Shirl! It's good to be back. I got your e-mail, but I've been busy unpacking and haven't gotten a chance to respond. I'll do it first thing tomorrow, I promise!
I haven't found your question on the boards, though... is it in this forum?

Hi Kree,
I think I posted it in the living room not sure. But here it is. I read your profile on zaar and you had what is called a RAK list. what is RAK?

Ahh, okay! RAK stands for Random Acts of Kindness. I'll tell you more about it in my reply to your e-mail.
