Coconut Peanut Butter Cream Dessert — for Lunch!!
Just stopping by? Have you tried my coconut peanut butter honey overnight oats yet? Or maybe you’d like to try your hand at my chocolate-covered raisin hemp balls or raw tuna fish-less salad. And congrats to Cyn for winning my latest contest!!
This morning when I woke up, I enjoyed a delicious bowl of overnight oats. It was SO filling that noon came and went and I still wasn’t hungry for lunch!
I eventually wanted a little something and remembered I had some frozen bananas. My mindwheel started turning….
The result?
Coconut Peanut Butter Cream
Know the banana soft serve that’s swept across the blogosphere like a cyber hurricane?
Oh, yeah!
I tossed the bananas in the blender and I noticed there was some cream of coconut a family member hadn’t used up. So I threw 3 tablespoons in the blender. I’d say there was about 4 bananas in that bag.
What came out of the blender was this:
Beautiful, isn’t it?! And if that wasn’t delicious enough, I thought of the Coconut Peanut Butter that Tropical Traditions sent me!
Drizzle, Drizzle
Then… a MIRACLE
When Tropical Traditions Coconut Peanut Butter is drizzled over something cold (like banana soft serve), it hardens up!! Like the chocolate on a dip cone!!! Eeeeeekkk!!! What??!!! I was ecstatic!!!!
Dessert for Lunch
I must admit, this hemp-loving, salad-chompin’ Raw Juice Girl enjoyed every last creamy, smooth, decadent, sweet bite of her dessert for lunch. I know I’ll be having Coconut Peanut Butter Cream again soon!! YUM!!
Oh, and I only had a small portion. I shared the rest with family. Boy, were they SURPRISED at how good my banana ice cream tasted!!
For anyone wondering: The peanuts in the Coconut Peanut Butter are roasted so that isn’t raw. And the cream of coconut from that can had preservatives, so it isn’t raw either. Of course, the bananas are raw. Yippee for that!
Even though this dessert isn’t 100% raw, it SURE was yummy to the tummy! 
Worried about the nutritional value of this dessert for lunch? Well, Coconut Peanut Butter Cream provides protein, fiber, potassium, and more!
What about you? Have you jumped on the raw banana soft serve bandwagon yet? What’s your favorite raw dessert? Are you going to try my Coconut Peanut Butter Cream? Tell me all about it!

i have to keep the secret of the banana ice cream on the down low since my husband is allergic. shhhh! i do enjoy it though but put green powder in it so it looks less appealing from afar.

On my way to bed but have to say, that looks decadent and amazing. Wow, I need that.
It hardens b/c the oil in the coconut PB reaches a solid state as it touches something that’s cold. I’m sure you knew that and that it wasn’t “magic” to you but just thought I’d mention it
