Banana Ice Cream

Last week I was hanging out at home craving something sweet. I went to the freezer to get a frozen strawberry fruit bar only to realize I had none... but I had a bunch of frozen bananas with no propose. So I used the Google machine to see what you can make with frozen bananas that is quick and easy. I found love - or what others call Banana Ice Cream. I love it because its so simple and fast to make plus you can experiment with tons of different ingredients. This should get you started:

Approximately 1 serving:
1 frozen banana
1 teaspoon of agave nectar
1/4 cup of almond milk
1 teaspoon of chia seeds
sprinkle of cocoa nibs

Helpful hints:
  • Peel Bananas, cut in half and freeze in zip lock baggies 
  • Make your own Almond milk by soaking almonds over night in water and then running through your juicer with water. Fresh, natural and delicious 
  • Trying adding frozen blueberries, mangos, strawberries, raspberries or avocados 
Homemade almond milk (you could use water/regular milk/soy milk/store bought almond milk)

















Combine in a food processor and blend

















Blending took me about 3-5 minutes

















You will end up with a nice smooth consistency

















Top with fresh fruit or chia seed & cocoa nibs

Leftovers can be put in the freezer and added to your morning smoothie. If you liked this recipe, try this one for Raw Chocolate Pudding made with my favourite food - avocados!
