down to the core: going bananas!

Now that Passover is over and I'm back into the swing of my kitchen concoctions, I've been printing new recipes and making shopping lists so that I can start making all the newest recipes I found over spring break that I couldn't make because of the holiday. It made me a little crazy not making anything for over a week, but with limited ingredients that are Kosher for Passover, and even more limited supplies and appliances for the holiday, I wasn't really able to experiment much.

Which is why yesterday when I got home from school I was insistent on trying something new. I scavenged for whatever food we had in the pantry (my family cleared out a lot of the non-Kosher for Passover food before the holiday), and I decided on another banana-based snack. I spent a lot of my down time over spring break last week looking up new recipes and scrolling through Pinterest, and I came across this recipe of banana popsicles.

This recipe is perfect for the mood I've been in lately. I'm pretty sick of winter (aren't we all?) and I have been in a sort of denial that spring hasn't really sprung yet. I've been trying not to wear my boots anymore, I already brought out my jean jacket and boat shoes, and I even went running outside the other day in just a t-shirt and leggings (which was a little bit of a mistake.. my hands and arms were freezing!) It's pretty evident though that I have gone a bit bananas after all these cold winter months, and this spring-time snack fits right in with my thought-process. If I pretend that it's spring for long enough, at some point spring will be here.. right?

Here's what you'll need:

2 bananas (either frozen or fresh - I only had one fresh banana left, but I had a frozen banana too so I used both in this recipe)

1/2 cup almond milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

1. Add all ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth.
