Frozen Banana- CHOCOLATE covered- of Course!


Hi friends
With May Madness past us, 
and the joy and HEAT of June and July jumping in...
Let's COOL OFF with some fun, frozen FRUIT desserts!

Since it is summer, I had my son along
to "help" me do the grocery shopping.
He wanted to buy a kit
for chocolate covered bananas. 
I thought we might
make it better (and with more CHOCOLATE) ourselves!


Summer also says...SORBET--you can make with any
kind of your favorite fruit!
Sorbet tastes great, and it's GOOD for you!


Below are a couple different versions of recipes 
that I found on COOKS.COM and allrecipes.com


If you try one, please comment on 
working4wellness.blogspot.com, 
and let me know how it goes.
Even better, take a picture and post it on here- I'd love to post the winner (we'll let my "helper"  pick!)
