Banana “Ice Cream”

I bet most, if not all, of you have heard of this before and maybe even tried it, because I know I have found this recipe many different times. But, we made it again the other day and I thought I’d better share it, just in case.

This is a yummy, easy, healthy alternative to ice cream and it really does satisfy the cravings I have for a treat.

For one serving, I use about one and a half bananas. I always have bananas in my freezer, but if you don’t, just chop up a ripe one and toss it in the freezer. Once they are frozen, throw them in the blender until they are nice and creamy. At this point, you could be done, but I love to add a few things to make this extra yummy.

I usually add a dash of vanilla extract, a bit of peanut butter, a little cocoa powder. Add anything that sounds good. Enjoy!

I know this is a great treat because last time we made it, Nathan just kept saying, “Ice cream is nummy!”
