* Discovered a healthy icecream! much excitement! :) Post run treat!

[aliboo70]

From some link via an email yesterday i stumbled on a recipe to make icecream JUST from frozen BANANAS! so diligently froze them last night and what do you know, it works! you might already know this but i didn't! just need a food processor, its like magic! As long as you like bananas! Forgot to bookmark the page, but have found this one which is pretty much the same! i had mine with whole almonds and a touch (maybe a little too much!) of cinnamon!

Been out tonight, my 4th run this week!told myself i would do Mon, Weds, Fri and Sun as that gives me a day off before running club which wasn't on last Tues! But its my 1yr c25k anniversay tomorrow so may just have to do a mini one! Tonight it was non-windy at home, so went to seafront, where the wind was back -Typical! parked at top of hill so nice run down, turned around to face wind then back and finally UP the chuffing great short but V steep hill! According to Strava info thats my fastest run on that route so pleased with that though VERY glad that hill wasn't any longer, extreme huffing, if thats a term , occured! An a bit of an achy leg day today, sure its connected to working a shift where i'm fairly stationary(in shop- stocktake joy today! ) as opposed to cafe manic shift!

So will prob go back to 3 runs next wk with hopefully a longer run amongst that!

mango and coconut milk makes a good ice cream too.

[aliboo70 in reply to Rignold]

sounds lovely!

I keep meaning to try that. The mango and coconut sounds fab too. My current favourite snack is frozen grapes - open freeze them for about 2 hours and they go like tiny sorbets

[aliboo70 in reply to Hidden]

i love grapes will try that! the banana icecream transformation is magic!

[Vixchile Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I will need to try this too! Especially when grapes come into season in chile - no grapes yet. Soon it will be harvest time if they don't export all of them (fingers crossed for grapes)

Yum. Back onto healthy eating from tomorrow, and I always buy in bananas for my pre-run boost. Did you get to see the beached ship today? My parents in law, predictably, got in the car and got down there for a look as soon as they saw the news this morning!

[aliboo70 in reply to useitorloseit]

Hi ! No i haven't been over as have been at work today, seen plenty of photos though, not sure how they're going to get that sorted. Looks dramatic doesn't it ! The county press will be going wild, front page news, glad everyone got off safely and sounds like not much risk of pollution.

I kind of started healthy eating this week, having no bread and alot less chocolate and cake! lots of soup and salad !

I've been clearing up with wine this evening ... hic! Also mince pies and extra thick double cream. Quality streets got finished last night. I could be on for a clean start tomorrow!

[aliboo70 in reply to useitorloseit]

Ive got a little bit of red wine to finish up, might be a bit late for my clearing up now though!

[ancientrunner Graduate]

That sounds lovely - will give it a go tomorrow.

[aliboo70 in reply to ancientrunner]

Hope you like it!

Aliboo what a great post, thanks for sharing. I love ice cream so will be giving this and Rignold's mango/coconut milk a go soon.

[aliboo70 in reply to Slookie]

I found it a bit like magic!

[Vixchile Graduate]

Thank you for posting this I might have to try, only got a blender so hopefully will do the trick.

[aliboo70 in reply to Vixchile]

Hope so, its a clever idea! Wonder how they discovered it !

[Tomas Graduate]

Sounds absolutely yummy! Thank you!!

[aliboo70 in reply to Tomas]

Enjoy Tomas!

[Miles_Yonder Graduate]

Sounds delicious but not sure if my banana aversion could cope with it!

[aliboo70 in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Maybe not ! Gives you a bit of banana burps though, only bad side effect ! hope your 1st day back at work ok? Just off to take my Xmas decs down

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to aliboo70]

I like banana. Sadly, fresh banana doesn't like me! It just depends on.... God knows, it's hit and miss!

Nooooo! How sad, the decorations coming down. ah well, soon be Christmas again!

First say back went okay thanks, steady drive up to Stockton and back. Hope you've had a nice day! x
