A Dirty Monkey

If you are looking for a delish tropical drink this one will satisfy the urge. Becky first had this drink in Playa De Carmen, Mexico and loved it. Once she got back home she could not find anyone that had even heard of this drink. After a long hard search, our best friends David and Denise took the time and made the effort to find the ingredients and made this drink for her. It was a long search that came to an end that day they made this for her. 

To make it fun add the little tropical colored umbrella, a slice of pineapple on the side, a large colored straw, and play some Bob Marley music to add that tropical Caribbean feel.

Paleo Banana / Strawberry Ice Cream

This recipe came from our close friend Denise Sens. She made this one night and wowza, is it delicious. I am an ice- cream- aholic and could and sometimes do eat it every night. When Denise said she was making Paleo ice cream....well I wasn't too excited. But wow, I could eat this stuff every night. The best part of this recipe is it is so easy to make with a short amount of preparation. It comes out so creamy and smooth with the perfect texture. The taste is up to you with so many fruits you can use and add in. CAUTION: once you make this you might not go back to regular ice cream.

Ingredients

• 3-4 bananas cut into slices and frozen
• 1 cup - frozen strawberries frozen
• 1/2 cup - coconut cream ( I use canned and i shake it up to break it up more)
• 1 tsp - vanilla extract

Alternative Ingredients
You can use almost any fruit like berries, pineapple, etc.

Instructions

In a food processor or blender put the frozen fruits in and blend good. Add in the coconut cream and vanilla and blend again until the mixture is smooth.

NOTE: I like using bananas as the key ingredient but i have used pineapple and blueberries instead of or with the strawberries. Create your own flavors! I do suggest that you freeze the fruit in small pieces first. I wash and cut up the fruit and place on  single sheet of wax paper or a lined cookie sheet overnight. Let them freeze good and place in a freezer zip lock bag for use later if you like.
