Maple Walnut Soft Serve & Sweetest Day

I had some inspiration when I visited a local custard joint called Cream City Custard. I picked up a couple pints of ice cream for my mom (birthday treat). One of their flavors was Maple Walnut and I thought it might be easy to recreate this as a soft serve version with my VitaMix.

Maple Walnut Soft Serve
3 bananas (frozen)
2 TBSP nut butter (I used 1 cashew and 1 crunchy PB)
1/2 cup almond milk
1 TBSP maple syrup
3-4 ice cubes
blend in high speed blender until smooth
add toppings of choice
Topped with walnuts
This was really great and it made 3 servings

Do you celebrate Sweetest Day or do you think it is just a Hallmark holiday? I personally think we should be romantic and appreciated all year round not just on Valentine's Day and Sweetest Day however we know that doesn't happen so it's nice to have a "special day" to say I love you and I appreciate you, right?



Flowers are always nice, wish I got them on a weekly basis :) Roses are definately my favorite flower and I love them in all colors. I got a fabulous bouqet a few years ago and it was 2 dozen roses of every color with glitter and a huge pink vase. I loved that!
