Trader Joe's Gone Bananas! Chocolate Dipped Bananas. It's my newest not-so-guilty pleasure. I ran into a friend of mine from high school at Trader Joe's. Between talking about pregnancy, kids, and old friends she pulled out a box of Gone Bananas! "Have you tried these?" I hadn't, and actually I've never really been a big fan of frozen bananas, mostly because when I'm going to get a desert, I want it to be ice cream, or a brownie, or a piece of cake. I have been staying away from deserts though, because I have in recent months put on a few (*cough* 15 *cough*) pounds. She made a good point though. It's a fruit. Plain and simple. It's a frozen banana. Sure, it's got a hard chocolate coating, but in the scheme of things, that's nothing! I picked up a box.I brought the box home, and Wayne and I had one for desert that night. He said that the first few bites were really good but then it just became "ok." I loved it the entire time! I thought it was so yummy. I looked up the Weight Watchers points, and it's only 4. That may seem like a lot for a desert but remember, 2 of those points are from a banana. Not so high anymore, huh?
Conclusion: Trader Joe's Gone Bananas! Chocolate Dipped Bananas is a new staple in the Fox household. Are they as good as a big bowl of Extreme Moosetracks ice cream? No. But they come is close second.
Yes, they may not be as good as moose tracks, but when you compare the calories I think that makes it worth it to settle for something healthier yet still sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteYum! Those sound great. I have never seen those are Trader Joe's. I need to head to TJ today or tomorrow so I will look for them.

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through facebook, and thought I'd give it a look-see.
And SURPIRSE!! This post. SO GLAD YOU LIKE THEM!!!!!!
And here's the funny part, I was going to say something about "frozen bananas" on your wall the other day when we were talking, but I wasn't sure if you would "get it" or not.
Is 9:00am too early to have a frozen banana? :)
it is never too early for a frozen banana...my kids love Chocolate milk for breakfast and I would rather not give that to them at night...SO hey have a chocolate covered bananna in the am and maybe the day will be that much happier
