Banana “Ice Cream”


I came across this recipe on Pinterest while on my quest for finding healthy treats: One ingredient ice cream

Is it too good to be true?  Fortunately, no!  It came out great.  It’s a healthy and sweet treat to substitute for when you have that ice cream craving.  You can also customize the recipe to add cocoa powder, peanut butter, nutella, or anything else you would like!  I just tried out the plain version but I will definitely try adding some cocoa or peanut butter or both next time!

Frozen banana slices
The recipe is so simple.  Just peel 4 bananas, slice them up, and pop them into the freezer for an hour or two.

Ready to pulse


Once frozen, place the bananas into a food processor and pulse for about a minute or so.  You may need to scrape down the sides.  When the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, you’re done.



All mixed up and ready to eat


That’s IT!  You can try it as is (texture similar to soft serve ice cream) or freeze the mixture so that you can scoop it out.  I tried both and liked it frozen better.

Frozen banana mixture...Yum!

Healthy and cheap, how can you beat that?
