{RAW CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH} and {BLIZZARD}

Warning:  Do not make this if you love chocolate chip cookie dough and you are trying to lose weight.  There are mostly healthy ingredients, but they are NOT low fat.  So if you feel like eating the whole batch, you have been warned and do not blame me. 

I found this recipe here.  It's really perfect as it is, so I'll just list the recipe like she has it.  We have a ton of frozen bananas right now, so I was looking for something new to do with them besides smoothies and the normal soft serve ice cream.  This blizzard looked pretty good, and it opened up a whole new world with the cookie dough that was made to be eaten, not cooked!

*I did the nutrition profile for just the cookie dough part- obviously it will be healthier if you mix it with the bananas!  The cookie dough is 43% fat, 48% carbs, 9% protein.  Each 2 T. serving has 8 g. fat, 2 g. fiber, 4g. protein.
