Eating good is hard. For some reason, a few days a month, there is a beast that invades my body and the only way it can be satisfied is if I eat ice cream or chocolate. And the beast, it likes a good sized amount of it. My waistline, not so much. My solution? This Low Calorie Blender Chocolate Cherry Soft Serve recipe. The trick to this recipe is to use frozen bananas as the base and add in dark chocolate covered dried fruit, like DOVE® Whole Fruit Dipped in Dark Chocolate. It’s the right amount of healthy and sinful to satisfy any ice cream, chocolate lovin’ beast. DOVE® Whole Fruit Dipped in Dark Chocolate is available in three flavors – cranberry, cherry, and blueberry. I used cherry for this soft serve recipe because I like the tartness of cherry, but any one of them would be good. The best part? If you stay within the serving size, you’ll only eat 150 calories. Pretty amazing for something so decadent! Take that beast. You have been silenced.

I’m just going to say it right now. If you are trying to eat healthy and are trying to “get by” with a sub-par blender, do yourself a favor and purchase a high quality blender like a Nutri-Bullet or Blendtec. You’ll thank me later.
3. Start on low and blend banana for 45 seconds and then increase intensity to medium or medium-high (depending on your blender) and blend until creamy.
4. Scoop banana mixture into a glass mixing bowl and add chopped DOVE® Whole Fruit Dipped in Dark Chocolate. Stir until combines.
5. Divide into two bowls (you can store one in the freezer if needed) and enjoy your low calorie treat.
