View Comments July 17th, 2010 Cathrine-Mette (Trine) Mork This is a truly delightful, nutritious, fruit-oriented dessert. Add more fruit, nuts, or any of your favorite ingredients or “toppings” for a customized taste experience. Also try adding natural extracts (vanilla, almond, orange, etc). I recommend Mila brand chia seeds. Pricier than other generic seeds, but high in quality. Recipe from Integrated Health.
Chuck in your blender or food processor and turn mix away. Yummm.

These pancakes are the real deal. They have a maple-pecan flavor and the fluffy texture of real pancakes. Since they’re dehydrated ahead of time, keep some on hand for a quick breakfast or dinner. Makes about 20 pancakes.
1. Put the soaked pecans, the pine nuts, bananas, agave nectar, vanilla seeds, salt, and 1 Tablespoon of water as needed if batter is too thick to blend, in a Vita-Mix. While the machine is running, carefully remove the lid, and using a rubber spatula, stir the mixture along to make sure it is continuously turning over. Blend until smooth. Using a spatula, fold in the muddled blueberries.
2. With a ladle, drop ¼ -cup measures of the batter onto Teflex-line dehydrator racks, leaving at least ½ inch between the pancakes. They should be thick like pancakes, about ½ inch thick, not thin like crêpes. Dehydrate for 8 hours. Flip the pancakes onto clean Teflex sheets and dehydrate for 8 more hours. These should be soft and fluffy and have the consistency of a pancake. Don’t dehydrate them for too long; they shouldn’t be hard.
3. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Garnish with blueberries and coconut cream.

Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until perfectly smooth. Remove from processor and place in an ice cream freezer. Follow freezer instructions. You may also just put the ice cream in your freezer and stir it every hour for about 3 hours until set firm. This elegant, simple, healthy and delicious recipe serves 6-8. You can also add a fresh peach to the batch for added pizazz!

Peel the banana, wrap the leaves around it, and munch. (Really, are directions even necessary?)
February 26th, 2010 Cathrine-Mette (Trine) Mork OK folks, it doesn’t get simpler than this:
banana ice kream smothered in coconut flakes and cacao nibs
Peel the ripe bananas, stick them in a bag, and freeze them. Once they are frozen but still soft, chop them into pieces (lest you over-tax your blender or processor and overheat or literally destroy it. Yes, I had to bin my roommate’s crappola blender due to the shear force of frozen bananas!) and process them. You could elect to chop the bananas up before you freeze them. Some freezers are colder than others, so if you do not have a state-of-the-art mixing machine, please do NOT throw a whole frozen banana into your device! Process the bananas until they become frothy and creamy and voila: Banana ice cream… I mean KREAM!
Sprinkle on coconut flakes.
Sprinkle on cacao nibs.
Blend in cacao power, lucuma, carob…
Blend in other frozen fruit – berries are especially good.
poor on chocolate sauce or any other sweet raw concoction.
Sprinkle or blend in nuts – walnuts make for a particularly yummy banana nut blend.
Try some combination of the above!
This treat is an excellent way to divert an intense craving to gravitate to, well, ice cream, which has cream in it, among other nasties. I find that it’s very important to know how to make fast and easy, sweet-tooth satisfying concoctions. Usually when I have a major PMS-like craving, I am in no mood to expend any mildly excessive mental energy in creating an extravagant treat. I am far more likely to turn off my rational brain cells and buy a pound of processed chocolate and potato chips! Also, if I have too many pre-made healthy sweets around such as raw cacao or raw cookies, they tend to get eaten far too quickly, packing on unneeded calories and fat. I like to make such goodies in advance in order to stay raw on the road; I don’t want to eat them all in one sitting on a PMS binge! This simple banana ice kream recipe has saved me on many occasions. Thank you, Bananaさん! 本当にお世話になっております！
