Ever since, I've been trying to justify the purchase, trying out different smoothie and sauce recipes. I haven't been disappointed so far but we are still quite a ways from deeming it a justifiable purchase as our self grinding coffee machine has started to collect dust...
Looking at blogs/pintrest for ideas I saw some great recipes for sorbets and frozen yogurt, so I gathered some ingredients from our cupboard/fridge to experiment... and the end result was a satisfying dessert with fewer calories than ripping into a pint of Ben & Jerry's although I am not opposed to that either. :)

~ Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Frozen Greek Yogurt with Cocoa Nibs ~
Ingredients:
3/4 cup of vanilla or banana Greek yogurt
3 frozen bananas, broken into pieces
1 tbs of peanut butter
1 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp of honey
2 tbs of cocoa nibs (optional)
In blender, mix frozen bananas, yogurt, cocoa powder, peanut butter until will blended. Pour mixture into a freezer safe container, mix in crushed cocoa nibs. Freeze for ~1hr until the mixture has frozen to desired consistency.
**Some shortcuts/tips:
I always always keep a stash of peeled ripe bananas in the freezer, this way you can avoid using ice that may dilute the flavor of your smoothie or frozen dessert.
Freeze greek yogurt in an ice cube tray in advanced. This cuts down the need to refreeze the mixture.
