This weekend was rough. Like, REALLY rough. You know how you never want to be “that” girl at the bar? I was. I was “that crying” girl at the bar. I hate having emotions. And I hate toying with them while consuming alcoholic beverages. It’s just a terrible idea. Grumpy Juli sucks already, but grumpy drunk Juli is just a straight up b*tch. I learned my lesson this weekend. Don’t day drink. Just workout instead. That was all I really even thought about at the bar anyways. Barbells. I just thought about barbells.
Don’t give me a lecture here. I know.
But no need to live in non fun Juli land. Let’s talk about what was super fun over the weekend. Our CrossFit gym put on our first ever Amazing Race. Yes, like the show. So this is how it looked. We took their keys, their cell phones, and their dignity and sent them on their way around Denver. They had to find their own way on a 13 mile trek without any means of transportation. Meaning they had the choice to either run or hitch hike. Hitch hikers did much better than the runners. The teams had to make human pyramids with strangers, which meant mostly bums. They had to had to eat sandwiches with yeast spread on them. Paleo eaters loved that. And they had to do burpees in a fountain. Among other weird things. The coolest part of it all though…team PaleOMG WON IT ALL!! No big deal. I love my gym. Seriously, I love it.
I have a sunburn that makes me look like I’m still wearing a swimsuit…while naked.
I freaking love the movie Slumbdog Millionaire.
Oh, I should probably talk about this recipe. It’s not super original. But I don’t have an ice cream maker so I gotta do what I gotta do to get my fix. So ice cream made from a frozen banana was where it was at. If I would have had toasted pecans and was eating nuts, I would have added those to this little soft serve masterpiece. It’s not a masterpiece, I won’t lie. But it tastes delicious.
Maple Cinnamon Soft Serve Ice Cream
- Yield: 1 1x
Ingredients
- 1 banana, peeled and put in freezer until frozen
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sunbutter (or nut butter of choice)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- splash of coconut or almond milk
- toasted pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Freeze your banana ahead of time or this recipe just won’t workout. I like to peel my banana before freezing it because it’s kind of hell trying to peel a frozen banana.
- Place banana and the rest of your ingredients into a food processor.
- Puree until smooth. Top with toasted pecans or whatever else you would like.
- Eat with a spoon. It works better than a fork.

oooh and I forgot I added flaked coconut as well! even betta!!!!
This was awesome. The fact that you cook with everything I keep in stock is doubly awesome. Making your pizza bites tonight.
OH.MY. I’m eating this as I type and I keep having to stop composing my comment in order to shove another spoonful into my mouth. I think it’s going to change my life. No exaggeration. None.
Also, I discovered your blog a few weeks ago and I’ve read almost every post. My best friend’s name is Laura too so I feel like we have a connection. BUT… I still kinda want to come to Colorado and hang out. Too creepy? I’ll stop now.
Amazing!!! I just made it for me and the hubs and we loved it!!!
This looks amazing. I’m so grateful for your blog, because I don’t think of the simple things that would be delicious, much less the complex ones. You make my food life an interesting adventure. I have to make this now 😮
I hope you got a good cry and it is out of your system now. Sometimes that is all I need. Like on birthdays. I cry like a baby on birthdays. I’m usually fine like 360 of the other days though. I hope you have at least 360 good days this year. You have been giving me lots of good ones. Good food makes me stupid happy for days 🙂 This is a weirdly in depth comment for me. I’m done with it now.
Made this tonight after my Paleo Chicken nuggets for dinner and let me tell ya, it was GAH-UUD!!!!! So, happy that I found an “ice cream” that I can eat. I can’t eat real ice cream because it flairs up my arthritis in my hands so bad (a BIG reason I eat Paleo). THANK you SO much for this recipe. LOVE it !!!!!
I am an ice cream snob, and it’s what I usually “cheat” with on my cheat days (that and one pita). Anywho, I loved this! And my husband, who is not Paleo, loved it too! So much so he recommended that we make some at our next BBQ and put some whiskey in it for “grown up” ice cream. YUM! Thanks, Juli!
