PB2 Frozen Yogurt

(1) 6oz Yoplait original yogurt any flavor
2 tablespoons PB2
8 -10 slices of frozen bananas * 1 full size banana

Place all ingredients in your food ninja pulse till smooth.
Remove blades and place lid back on.
Place in freezer for 20 minutes if it's to liquid *I find it's perfect.
Enjoy like soft serve ice cream.

I use original yogurt instead of the sugar free because I am allergic to aspartame, and sugar substitutes. I also used strawberry flavor so it would taste like a peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwich since I use it as a meal replacement. But feel free to replace with any flavor you like, and any yogurt you prefer.
