HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY CHOCOLATE FROZEN BANANA ICE-CREAM- KID FRIENDLY!

I am all about keeping a healthy lifestyle not just for myself, but for my kids as well! My goal is to stay in the best shape of my life, but teach my boys young how foods are healthy, so as they grow, they can make choices to improve their lifestyle and live a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle!

So here we go! My oldest son Chase is 4 years old and he is a HUGE Shakeology fan!  I mean, come on, its chocolate heaven in a bag and who knew you can have top quality nutrition and superfoods that taste this good!! Its not always about making shakes... we love desserts too!! 

I do not keep my kids in food jail by any means... its about picking healthy alternatives to make it taste just as good!  They have no problem with it, so I don't either!

I mean, come on.. he is pretty adorable right?? He is totally posing with his favorite drink! lol!!

So it's time to teach you how we made this amazing ice-cream!! Seriously, it's simple!!! All you need is a few things.. one being a blender of some sort!! 

This is a healthy dessert that I also currently am using while following the BODY BEAST nutrition guide.
