Last night I was driving home from work and it hit me. What exactly hit me?! Well I'll tell you. I had an idea for a new blizzard recipe. It just came to me in an instant as I was driving at an exceptionally slow speed behind another car. I channeled that frustration into something great. Yesss! It's true and it's great.
What we have here is the queen of all mint blizzards. She's really something special. Gooey chocolatey brownie bits dispersed into a fresh and cool banana ice cream. I tossed some spinach in for some extra color (and nutrition) so let's all be excited about that too! There's probably enough here for 2 or even 3 people but I ate it all after I snapped these pictures and I bet that you'll want to do the same. Just let it happen, no regrets!
