Bananas 'n' Blues

Vendor Version
As promised, here's the technique for concocting Banana Whip. Serve it with blues for lots of potassium and antioxidants. 

 Simply toss frozen chunks of ripe banana into the bowl of a food processor with some cinnamon and whir till contents reach the consistency of soft ice cream or frozen yogurt. The natural gum content in the fruit acts as a thickener. Using this method, the result is firm enough to withstand a topping of warm sauce, easily made by microwaving berries with a few drops of water and a tiny bit of maple syrup. Add chopped nuts,
 if desired.
And Mine
This can also be made using a juicer, if you own one. The (link) vendor selling this delight was using a powerful Champion-brand model. Not in our area? Please check out his website for more fabulous,
 healthy ideas.

Top with whatever you please. You'll need one 
small-medium banana per serving.
