yummy protein bar

I wanted something cold and sweet, really something like an ice cream bar but decided to make do with a protein bar instead. Atkins has these Advantage bars, mudslide flavor, which I think would be best described as rocky road. So I stuck one in the freezer for 30 minutes. It was absolutely delicious. Just thought I'd share.

I loved those pre-op! I can't have them yet, but when I can you bet I will be freezing it. Their Indulge bars are really good too, although not much protein. The chocolate coconut one is so yummy! That was my treat pre-op to keep me from eating a candy bar.

That would be good frozen, too, huh?

I bought a box or two of those on sale and I thought they were only medium good. But I will surely try them in the freezer - I didn't think of that. I bet I will like it.

You know what my new found frozen dessert is? Frozen bananas. I found out by accident. Every week when the bananas go too ripe - or riper than I like to eat them, I've been freezing them. You know - I told you all my parents were raised in the depression and "waste not, want not", right? So I've been freezing them and using them whenever - for banana bread - for smoothies - or sometimes just feeding them to the chickens if they get too old.

ANYWAY, I froze the bananas a while back and was putting them in the blender with milk and yogurt for a smoothie - and it was good. Then, once, I didn't have yogurt, so I just put milk, and it was good, too. Once I put too many bananas and not much milk and it was better! It tasted like banana ice cream. Then, behold, one day I popped a frozen slice in my mouth (you know I still have that reflex) while about to put it in the blender and the thing was simply delicious!

Now - I freeze them sliced up in baggies in the freezer and just pop one out when I want a sweet snack - and it is just so good!

Before all of this discovery, I used to freeze them in their peels and remove the peels when I defrosted them. Just a tip - now I know - I remove the peels and go ahead and slice them up and then freeze them. It all works better.

Thanks for sharing Kelly - I have several of these bars in the pantry and I will put them in the freezer now.

I liked it better frozen than not. I had one more of them left and I stuck it in the freezer too.

I'll have to try some frozen bananas. I have some bananas in the kitchen now. Maybe I'll go cut one up.
