My Substitute for Ice Cream Bars

Take 1 Banana, 1 Popsicle Stick and 1/4 C. Chopped Nuts.

Roll banana in nuts, stick he popsicle stick into the banana wrap very very well and freeze.

This really takes the edge off for me, and it's creamy and sweet. YUM . . . .

Is that high in carbs? I'm trying to think how many carbs are in a banana. Sounds yummy.

It is kinda high in carbs, like you said lotodaisies, so it might not work for everyone's plan.

However, I think that for my body natural and unprocessed foods work the best and that for my mind not counting every single gram of carbs works the best.

Incidentally, here's the nutrition info:

CALS: 273
FAT: 18 grams (saturated - 1; Polyunsaturated - 2, Monounsaturated - 13)
CARBS: 28 grams (Fiber - 5)
PROTEIN: 5 grams

At any rate, I figure that if I need a sweet sorta creamy treat this will treat me better than Ice Cream . . .

Sounds great!

How long can the bananas be left in the freezer? Long term? Or do you just make them and eat them as you go along?

Snowbunny, That isn't too terrible on carbs and I agree with you about processed foods. I'm pretty liberal with the amount of carbs I eat since I can eat about 60-90 grams a day and still lose.
