This treat is amazing, if you like bananas. There’s only three ingredients and it only takes a few minutes…but it tastes so good.
Slice 4 ripe bananas onto a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking sheet (or wax paper.) Freeze until hard, about 3 hours.
Place 1/2 cup milk into a blender. Add a few banana pieces at a time and blend into a puree. Keep adding until all the bananas are used and you like the consistency. (Note: I have a Vitamix blender and made the mistake of adding all the banana pieces at once. It was really hard on my machine though we finally did get to the creamy ice cream texture.)
Variations: Add 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter or peanut butter powder (PB2) to the milk. 2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder is also good. Up to 1 cup of other fruits can be added like frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mango etc. The bananas are essential to the creaminess of the dish so the more bananas you have the better it will be.
This is something I ate when I used to eat a raw food diet. It is great if you take three frozen banana’s, rice milk, and vanilla. It’s like eating real ice cream. Then you can take raw cacao syrup or agave syrup and drizzle it on! so good.
I’m too lazy to slice up my bananas before I freeze them! I have a vitamix too, so all have to do is peel the banana and throw in a ziplock in the freezer. You can even break them in half once they’re frozen if you don’t want that much. I have a family of 5, so we generally fill the whole blender when I make a smoothie, ice cream, or whatever!
