Frozen Bananas

Frozen Blue Banana Bowl 
  The banana is probably the most widely accepted fruit by friends of all genders, ages and species. They're full of potassium, healthy calories and just all over easy and delicious. They're a staple in my kitchen, excellent fresh and when they get pretty spotted and you've done your magic trick they become a perfect base for almost all smoothies- ie. PB & Banana, Banana Kale & OJ, Banana Beat Soft Serve- but sometimes I just really have desire to munch on a frozen banana and since I was also craving blueberries and I still had the green tea matcha ice blended latte with coconut milk from the Coffee Bean on V-day on my mind, I had some really good inspiration to work with

Here is the product my cravings inspired today! 
Beautiful isn't it!? MMM!

Blend until smooth:
Frozen Blueberries - I had a little less than a cup left in the fridge and I chose to use all of it
Green Tea Matcha Powder - bout 1 tsp
Ice- bout 1/2 cup
Coconut Milk - enough to almost cover the rest of your blender ingredients

Pour into a pretty glass bowl and stir in some Chia Seeds

Now, whip your nanner out of the freezer and brake into bite-size pieces with a fork and enjoy a chilly, antioxidant rich breakfast as it warms up outside!
