Five Ingredient Friday: Ice Cream

Healthy eating doesn’t mean you have to give up all your favorite things…sometimes it just means making a healthy swap!

We’ve made our Five Ingredient Friday recipe super easy this week as it only calls for one ingredient…frozen bananas! Frozen bananas magically turn into delicious soft serve “ice cream” after a quick trip in the food processor or blender.

All you need to do is freeze very ripe or over-ripe bananas. It helps the blending process if you cut up the bananas or break them into chunks before you freeze them. You may need to add a teaspoon or two of milk to get the desired level of creaminess for your ice cream and to make the blending process a little easier.

The banana taste really is very mild, but feel free to experiment with your favorite mix-ins to switch up the flavor:

  • Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • Dried fruit
  • Nuts
  • Peanut Butter or PB2
  • Vanilla or Almond extract
  • Honey
  • Frozen berries
Enjoy!
