It's Yonanas!

I have successfully made it through yet another Monday! Today honestly flew by. I think this has something to do with the fact that I was soooo excited all day today because tonight we have a celebration taking place. Lauren will be 21 once the clock strikes midnight!! And how are we going to greet this once in a lifetime occasion? Midnight margaritas, of course :)

This weekend was definietly eventful. First with meeting up with a couple friends on Friday night. Then, Saturday, Lauren and I spent the WHOLE day together. That is a rarity but it was oh so fantastic. We started out relaxing with a little PLL (which we finally finished last night! Side note- Mona is a crazy chatch) and then went to the mall in efforts to find something to wear to the wedding that night. We got incredibly lucky because apparently Saturday was one of the biggest mark down sale days ever. I walked away with a new dress and earrings for about $35! Here's how the outfit turned out..


After dinner tonight (which consisted broccoli and quinoa pasta, peppers, chicken, feta and tomato sauce) I was craving something sweet. I remembered that one of my friends had bought me this frozen yogurt maker for christmas called Yonanas.


The concept is that you put frozen bananas and other fruits in it and push down on the little lever and viola, out comes the 100% fruit yogurt. No milk or anything necessary, just frozen fruit. I was skeptical at first because I really didn't believe that just fruit could have the total consistency and flavor such as regular frozen yogurt. I was wrong. It's amazing! I used frozen bananas (reccomended that the bananas are peeled prior to freezing. My fingers almost froze off while trying to pry the peel off of the frozen bananas) and a mix of frozen berries. It was SO good. The bananas really enhance the texture and make the yogurt thicker with more of the yogurt like consistency.


I topped my creation with a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter (let's be real, crunchy > creamy any day) and some old fashioned oats. What excites me most about this is that it is a perfectly acceptable breakfast as well as dessert! Or any meal for that matter. And no added sugars or preservatives!
