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!

Yummy in my Tummy!

Do you have a sweet tooth?  Me too! Thought I'd share the recipe to one of my favorite treats ~ Raw Chocolate Pudding.

Its vegan (moo moo), gluten free (woot woot), sugar free (bop bop) & super easy to make (yippee). And it tastes much better than real pudding.

This recipes makes two servings.

Ingredients:
1 medium ripe avocados
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon vanilla

1/2 cup agave nectar

1/8 cup raw cacao powder (raw) 

small pinch of salt

1/2 cup water (recipes calls for this but i don't use it)

1/4 cup almond butter (recipes calls for this but i don't use it)

Garnish with;
strawberry slices 

chai seeds

lime zest

mint leaf

Combine avocados, cacao powder, coconut oil, vanilla, salt and agave nectar into a blender and process until smooth and creamy. I add a bit of chai seeds, lime zest, fresh berries and a mint leaf as a garish because I love the fresh taste it adds!  It only takes about 10 minutes to make & you can eat it right away too.  I hope you try it & enjoy.

Experiment with alternate ingredients as well - I sometimes change the avocados to frozen blueberries or bananas.
