The Twelve Tribes of Blizzrael

Tonight I continued my banana theme with an Oreo and banana combination.  This was a great ABC, and I think it would be an excellent entry-level option for those who are looking for an introduction.  While there were some solid Oreo chunks in there, this ABC did suffer from some sub-par mixing (they were incredibly busy at the Old Saybrook DQ tonight so I won't hold it against them), and I would have liked a more even banana/Oreo ratio. 

Another big development is that I went for a mini size instead of my usual small.  This was my first experience with the mini and I think I'll stick with it.  Maybe if I'm really hungry I'll get two separate minis to try to different ABCs in one outing.

Banana, Heath Bar, Vanilla

Today's ABC was Banana. Heath Bar, and Vanilla.  This combo was the catalyst for my interest in ABCs and the inspiration for this blog.  This ABC came from the Old Saybrook Dairy Queen, and although I was pretty satisfied with the ingredient ratios and mixing (especially this early in the Blizzard season), I will say that the top half was heavier on banana and the Heath Bar chunks had settled to the bottom a bit.

This is an excellent ABC, and I would definitely recommend this to any Blizzard fan. An added bonus is the nutrition of the banana - high in dietary fiber, vitamins C and B6, potassium, and manganese.  The highlight of this one is the combination of textures.  It's a perfect mix of creamy vanilla, smooth banana pieces, and the occasional crunch of the heath bar.  The flavors of the Heath Bar and banana complemented each other nicely and the vanilla really tied the whole thing together.  I have heard that Banana, Heath Bar, and Chocolate is also a good one and I look forward to trying it out.

This being the first review, I reserve the right to chance this rating later.  I will be using this ABC as a basis of comparison for future ratings.
