Tis the season for desserts, so this week we have a creamy concoction for you that’s not only delicious, but also loaded with calcium and electrolytes. And here’s a little secret: With its 4 to1 carb to protein ratio, it’ll even make a great recovery snack after blasting through those P90X2® workouts that Santa left under the tree.
- 2 Tbsp. low-fat milk
- 4 tsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 medium banana, quartered
- 1 cup plain, low-fat yogurt
- 4 slices banana (1/4 inch each)
In a blender, blend milk, sugar, vanilla, and the quartered banana together at high speed until mixture is smooth. Pour into a bowl and fold in yogurt. Chill mixture for at least 45 minutes in refrigerator; when chilled, spoon mousse into 4 dessert dishes. Cut 4 1/4-inch slices from banana, and stand 1 banana slice on its side in each bowl. Makes 4 servings.
