I love bananas and I love ice cream, so when I saw this healthy (yes – healthy!) recipe for Better than Banana Ice Cream, I just had to share it with you guys. It comes from the very talented Dani Spies – she’s a Health and Nutrition Counselor and a Fitness Trainer. Her website – DaniSpies.com – is filled with all kinds of yummy and healthy recipes, mainly using whole, natural, unprocessed foods. I know you’ll find something you can’t wait to try there, so check it out!
Ingredients
2 frozen bananas
About a ½ cup unsweetened vanilla soymilk (or any kind of milk you choose)
Directions
Pop bananas into a blender or food processor and blend until the bananas have a smooth and creamy consistency (just like ice-cream). Depending on how powerful your blender or processor is, your bananas may clunk around a bit at the beginning BUT just give them a minute. Once they start to break down they turn into this lovely, creamy treat.
If you want… you can skip the milk addition all together, but I like to add a little in. I usually start with about a quarter cup and then blend. If you want it a little thinner add a little more milk, if not… skip it!
Top with whatever you’ve got on hand or nothing at all and enjoy!
(Dani topped hers with some shaved chocolate and shredded coconut but thinks nuts “would be crazy good too!”)
