Oh you guys, we made it!
The car ride was actually rather uneventful, thank goodness. I am thrilled that the house we rented is actually on the beach. It makes vacation with a 3 year old, 2 year old and 1 year old so much easier and we wasted no time sticking our toes in the sand.
Kaitlyn loved it. She went from collecting shells in a cup to running right into the water and giggling. Even a face plant didn’t put a damper on her joy.
With the first trip to the beach, it feels like summer is really on its way. Bring on the sunshine, the fresh produce and the scent of sunscreen! And nothing is better in the heat than a cold, sweet treat on a hot summer afternoon.
Last week Charlotte hit the 90’s and we were itching for something cold and fruity.
I’ve tried banana soft serve before, but having so many frozen strawberry from our picking adventures, I was hoping to kick it up a notch.
And kick it up I did!
The end result was creamy and luscious with just the right amount of sweetness.
We ate a bowl right from the processor, and froze the rest in 4 ounce jelly jars.
Hailey proceeded to pull one out of the freezer every afternoon to enjoy.
And just like that, our go-to summer frozen treat was confirmed! Try this y’all- it’s delicious!!

Banana soft serve is SO good! I love your additions to it. I bet it would be awesome with a little peanut butter or almond butter drizzled in too!
Have an awesome little vacay!

I looove making banana soft serve. Since my body hates real ice cream, it’s my go-to during the hot months.
Have a great time at the beach!!

I love a good batch of banana soft serve – and it’s finally warming up here so might actually get to make some this weekend! Love that it is such a fun and healthy treat for the littles too. Enjoy the beach (says with a sniffle from a land-locked state)!!!
