Banana Ice Cream

Looking for a healthy alternative to ice cream? You will love these variations as will the kids!

All you need are frozen bananas (yes, frozen not fresh with ice or you wont get that creamy texture) and whatever flavor you wish. Blend the bananas and whatever else you chose to add in a nutribullet, food processor or any high powered blender and there you go!

Our favourites are:

Peanut Butter: Make the original recipe below, adding 2-3 tbsp peanut butter or another nut butter or allergy-friendly alternative before blending.

Mint Chocolate Chip: Use 2 bananas and a pinch of salt. Add 1/8 tsp pure peppermint extract (or more if desired), and stir in chocolate chips or cacao nibs after blending. Optional, blend in a pinch of spirulina or a small handful spinach for color and an extra nutrient boost.
