Since my announcement (okay, whining) that I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and banned from sugar, I have been missing my No. 1 pregnancy craving: banana splits!! A good friend of mine passed on an excellent substitute, which I love!
Take a frozen banana, add a tsp. of unsweetened organic cocoa powder, and either mash it all together or run through a food processor. Voilà…it’s a sugar-free dessert! The banana makes this a nutritious treat while the added cocoa powder makes this a guilty pleasure.
It may not be a banana split, but it sure does hit the spot!

I’m glad you like it, Jamee! The bananas are also super awesome if you run them through a juicer, so it comes out like soft serve ice cream. It’s fun to do it up gorgeously in a martini glass with a strawberry or nuts on top. Frozen Choco-Banatini. Yum!!
Hey Sharon! I love this recipe, and what a great idea to put it in a martini glass!! What about dried coconut sprinkles? I don’t know if they’re a no-no for a gestational diabetic diet, but it might add yet another flavor for variety? This is a great recipe and serving suggestion for anyone who likes bananas. Thanks for sharing it with us!!
This recipe keeps getting better and better. Thanks for the tips, Sharon!
