Coconut-Orange-Banana Dreamsicle
In a blender, mix a frozen banana with two tablespoons of orange juice, one tablespoon of coconut milk, and top with one ounce of unsweetened shredded coconut, if you like. This dessert will come out "soft-serve," so put it in a pretty dish and garnish with a sprig of mint to make it look as good as it tastes. But be warned this dish does have fat in it.
