What a wonderful weekend. Busy – but wonderful! It was the first weekend in a long time where I had no where to go, and it was awesome. I still had work to do, but my fun work – recipe development! I have so many great recipes coming up: Argentinian flank steak with a spicy giardiniera chimichurri sauce (that is 1 point!), strawberry and rhubarb scones, smoky jalapeno pizza with strawberries and basil . . . but today, I am sharing this red velvet nice cream.
I love the Safe + Fair brownie mix, but each brownie is 11 smart points. Not to say that it isn’t both point worthy AND insulin worthy, it’s an indulgence I can’t do every day.
So I have been trying to use it up slowly but surely. Check out my other recipes using the red velvet mix:
I just want to mention it was 90 degrees outside when I took this picture – ha! But I do like how melty it looks.
Just add the two frozen bananas to a food processor, add 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk (it’s 30 calories a cup, so I don’t count that) with 1 tablespoon of the dry Safe + Fair red velvet brownie mix. Mix on high for 2 minutes, or until smooth. It will be the consistence of soft serve froyo at that point, but you can freeze and it will be more like ice cream texture.
I love how it turns pink the second it gets wet 😀
I still have more than half a bag of this mix – so many possibilities! If you can think of another recipe I can use this in, please let me know, I am all ears!
Um, turns out the dogs got a couple licks in too – I am the best dog grandma evah!

My stepbet started yesterday – still not too late to join – I think the first week is kind of to get your feet wet – then weeks 2-6 you have to meet your steps every day otherwise you get kicked out of the game – strict but what motivation! Just download the app to your smart phone, and my game code is BIZ.
I’ll leave you with this pic of Rummy – she gets too tire after a few minutes, so Hannah has a . . . dog stroller. Yes, I know – so cute! Sadly both dogs are too big to be in there at the same time, so yesterday it was Rummy’s turn.
Oh, and here’s another recipe I made a few years ago, but perfect for summer produce – ricotta stuffed zucchini in tomato sauce – so good! You can find that recipe here.

I have made ice cream using frozen bananas & my husband loved it. His favorite dessert is ice cream so if I can win him over with that I know it is good! That zucchini recipe looks delicious. One I will try if my garden ever gets going. The doggie stroller is adorable. Your puppies are so cute.
Yum! I used to make nice cream for my kiddos all the time, I’d forgotten about it.
How about using some of the brownie mix for some sort of frapp or iced coffee?
Oh – that sound delicious Ashley! Love the red velvet frapp idea!!
