Pita Bake

This delicious pita bake is a healthy alternative to pizza! In this recipe, almost every standard ingredient used for pizza is replaced.

  3. Sprinkle both cheeses on top.

  4. Bake in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. 

Banana Ice Cream

This ice cream's main ingredient is frozen bananas. In this recipe, you take frozen ripened bananas and put it in a food processor until it has the consistency a soft serve ice cream would have. You could eat it plain or even mix your own custom flavors by adding fruit like strawberries and blueberries, or add peanut butter, chocolate chips, or unsweetened cocoa powder.

​

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Bananas

  • 1/4 cup milk (Optional)

  • Toppings

​

Instructions

  1. Let the bananas ripen until their peel starts to turn brown.

  2. Cut the bananas into small pieces and freeze them.

  3. Blend the frozen banana pieces into a food processor or blender until it has a soft serve consistency. (If the bananas are difficult to process, add up to 1/4 cup of almond, soy, or regular milk).

  4. Once the texture is reached, remove the ice cream into a container and mix in any toppings if desired.

  5. Freeze for an additional 30 minutes.
