This simple three-ingredient banana-peanut butter recipe will knock your socks off. If you haven't tried puréeing frozen chopped bananas in a food processor until they turn into vegan "ice cream," your life is about to become a lot more delicious. Add in a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder and a little natural peanut butter, and ta-da—dessert becomes acceptable morning, noon, and night. (BTW, here's why you should eat a banana before your next workout.)
