This frozen banana is a natural and simple dessert. But it’s more than just a sweet treat. It’s a symbol of the power of transformation and growth. Just like how frozen bananas go through a metamorphosis from a ripe fruit to a frozen delight, we too can transform ourselves and our lives. We can take what’s good and make it even better, and we can turn our struggles into opportunities for growth and learning.
So the next time you savor a frozen banana, remember that it’s not just a delicious dessert – it’s a reminder that we all have the power to change and become the best version of ourselves. Let it inspire you to embrace change and live your life to the fullest.

Cuisine: Caribbean, Fusion

Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas peeled
- 1/4 cup skimmed milk
- 3/4 c. grape nut cereal crushed to crumbs
- 1 tsp. of ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. of ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and cut each in two.
- Mix the cereal, cinnamon and nutmeg. Note: The grape nut cereal does not crush well in an electric chopper. It is best to place it in a clean bag, hold the end tightly and use a rolling pin to crush it. You can also leave the cereal as it for a more chunkier texture.
- Insert an ice cream stick or skewer deeply into the cut end of the banana. Dip the banana in the milk, then roll in the cereal crumbs and spices. Note: To get the cereal to stick press firmly into the banana.
- Wrap in plastic and freeze. Serve cold. Note: I used this grape nut cereal for my frozen bananas. It is not as sweet as most cereals, and a bit expensive in Trinidad. A good substitute is the Sunshine Granola cereal for this recipe.
