I've made my own Healthy Banana Icecream for over a year now. Everytime my bananas start to get brown spots I un peel them, slice them up and put them in a ziploc baggie and throw them in the freezer. When you are ready for a treat all you do is.....
Put the frozen bananas in a blender or food processer. Blend, blend, blend...stop the blender and scrape the sides a couple times. Keep blending...pretty soon the bananas will start to get a creamy, ice cream texture!! (You can also add a tiny bit of almond milk if you like) Yay!! Banana Icecream. It's that easy. You can then add a bit of Peanut Butter or Almond Butter. There are many add in options or just eat it plain.
Some yummy things to add may be:
Cocoa
Peanut Butter
Almond Butter
Frozen berries
Honey
Pure Maple Syrup
Coconut
Slivered almonds or Pecans pieces
Maybe not all these things at the same time :)
What are some things you might add?
Since I'm currenty doing the Whole30 and eating pretty much Paleo lately I just add a little almond butter and maybe some coconut flakes on top. Yummy!! You aren't really suppose to "Paleofy" things on Whole30, but when I'm in need of a treat this does the trick and its much Healthier than regular icecream. So, I say it's ok! It gets the kid approved taste test too! That's always a plus!
Lately I've been seeing this recipe go around Pinterest called "Gwyneth Paltrow's Banana Icecream"
Sounds like a yummy combination, when I'm done with Whole30 I may have to give it a try.
I LOVE banana ice cream! One of my favorites is a dark chocolate covered cherry that i have posted on my blog. Otherwise I like a chocolate peanut butter sometimes with Quest Peanut Butter Cups added in but I eat mostly paleo too so that doesn't happen all too often :-)
