Every day I want chocolate and ice cream, neither of which is a power food. This recipe is a creative response to both of those cravings. For years I have used frozen bananas in the food processor to make a sorbet, and one night thought "why not add yogurt and make it frozen yogurt?" Duh. Why not? So simple, but I seriously feel like a genius for this one, and it totally satisfied my cravings. Any frozen fruit could be used and the cocoa could be left out (or not) to create all sorts of flavors. Next time I'll be making it with strawberries and vanilla.
To freeze the bananas, peel over-ripe bananas (like what you'd use for banana bread) and place them in a plastic ziploc bag in the freezer overnight. To make the original banana sorbet, place frozen bananas in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
