Banana Ice Cream Recipe (As Seen in the Book!):
Making healthy treats has never been easier! Try this simple, no-added-sugar recipe for creamy banana ice cream:
● Take some ripe bananas and cut them into slices.
● Freeze the banana slices overnight, spread out on a lined baking tray so they don’t stick together.
● Whizz the frozen banana pieces in a food processor (occasionally scraping down the sides of the food processor) until smooth and creamy.
● Enjoy your healthy, one-ingredient banana ice cream! If desired, top with sprinkles or mix up the flavour by blending in nut butter, chocolate spread or frozen berries!

Author, Kate Hall of The Full Freezer says, "I originally drafted the story of the Magic Pause Button with my daughter back in 2021. I hoped we could create something to help her more easily explain to her friends what her Mummy does for a living, and share some handy tips and tricks with them. But, as it was the early days of building my business, and we were in the throes of the pandemic, this file just ended up sitting unread on my laptop.
'In 2023, I stumbled across an Illustrator that I loved on Instagram (@alexiapinchbeck), but it wasn’t until May 2024 that I finally found the courage to reach out to her to see if she would be interested in collaborating.
'Over the past three years of growing The Full Freezer, I have lost count of the number of times that adults have said to me that they wish they had been taught what I teach in school. So, whilst the book is still there to help my daughter and share some tips, it now has a deeper purpose.
'Whilst I can’t change the curriculum, or make food waste the top of the agenda for schools, I can try to reach as many young people as possible with this story, so that they grow up with the knowledge their parents missed out on. My hope now is that this book can help future generations (and their parents!) to understand the importance of reducing our food waste (both for the planet, and our purses) and how our home freezers can help us to do this with ease."
