LIFESAVER!!!!!
That’s really the best way to sum it up. Something on the sweet side, and it hits my ice cream spot. There are several different recipes for “Nice cream” and it’s very easy to make!
The base is simply sliced frozen bananas and some dairy-free milk. I’m sure you could used cow’s milk if desired, but that’s not necessary. But, you slice up bananas, freeze them, and later take your frozen bananas and blend them with the milk. There are many different ingredients you can add to change the flavor up. But, I thought I would started with a sure flavor combo. I’m a huge peanut butter/ banana fan.
Thanks to Fit Foodie Finds for this awesome recipe!
Ingrdients:
- 4 cups frozen sliced bananas
- 1/4 cup all-natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup plain almond milk, unsweetened*
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips, dairy-free if desired (I just used regular-sized semi-sweet morsels)
Steps:
- Place frozen banana slices, peanut butter, and 1/2 cup almond milk into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend on high until a smooth consistency has formed. If things are too thick, add a little bit more almond milk.
- Add in mini chocolate chips and pulse to combine.
- Option to eat immediately for a “soft-serve-like” consistency or to transfer into a parchment-lined bread pan to freeze for a more “ice cream-like” consistency. Freeze for about 2 hours. If you freeze for longer, it will become solid and hard to scoop, so you will need to thaw!
- Serve with more chocolate chips and a drizzle of peanut butter.

No matter what anyone tells you about sugar content, fruits are good for you. Obviously you need to be careful about not overdoing it because . . .
