Faux Wendy's Frosty




If there is one thing I look most to "in the form of snacks and drinks" this IS IT!!!
I look forward to these all year long. My absolute favorite..
Its not very often I can talk myself into a frosty from Wendys...So this is the identical healthy version.
Start saving all your ripe bananas now...When they get ripe, break them into halves or thirds and throw them all into a ziplock bag and freeze. When you get more ripe bananas, do the same and add them to the same bag...

recipe
About 2 or three handfuls of frozen banana pieces
(Ground chia seed) (Use a coffee grinder) (2 tablespoons)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup of milk
1 tablespoon of raw cocoa....

(They said u can substitute the bananas for icecubes, but ive never tried it)

blend all in the blender

Faux Tuna Fish Sandwich

For a year or so after the Japanese Fukushima radiation leak, I stopped eating seafood. I missed it terribly, but the news articles of it showing up on the west coast terrifies me. I had to think of the safety of my family and kids. Even though it sucked terribly and I missed seafood I came up with alternatives to fight those cravings in the mean time. One of my biggest cravings were tuna fish Sammies (or so they are called in our house.) I found this recipe in some of my searches and I was so surprised with the taste I ate it every single day for a week.




One can of drained garbanzo beans (save the juice in a cup).....then add a couple scoops of mayonnaise, salt and pepper...Blend in your blended until slighty chunky (like tuna fish)...if it is having a difficult time blending add a little of the cans juice to it.....then..I mixed in diced up pickles, onions and celery...(you can do your own toppings however you like)..I toasted my bread the dark brown I love...add it to it and mmmmmmmmm!!! My kids loved it, I loved it, tasted just like tuna fish ...my husband was reluctant to try it, but actually enjoyed it after a lot of convincing to just try it....
