fro-yo a new way

Pablo tends to get hungry right before bedtime... and last night was no exception. We had a yummy take out dinner from Malo last night and Pablo did some major damage on his cheese enchilada and chips. So, I decided to try to make a tasty, healthy-ish desert for the hungry boy and his always hungry older brother.

Our nutritionist suggested making frozen yogurt by hand blending plain Voskos greek yogurt with frozen fruit. I stuck a couple of bananas in the freezer yesterday, so I went with banana and mango (whole foods organic). The yogurt is tart and was overpowering the fruit so I added a bit of Agave Nectar and VOILA! a yummy delicious treat was created.

Both boys devoured their fro-yos and remarked on how delicious it was.

Banana-Mango Frozen Yogurt

3. Blend the yogurt and banana until smooth
4. Add in the mango

8. Enjoy!


One thing I am constantly reminding myself to do is WASH MY HANDS... It comes so naturally to some people, but I always forget to wash my hands first. I've been trying out a few things to remind me. In the PICU at Children's there was a nursery rhyme posted above the sink with a note that said, "Say this while washing your hands, when you are done, your hands are clean." I am looking for some fun versed to say before handling the kids' food - I'll let you know what I come up with...
