Malleable Reality

Craving ice cream but want to eat healthy and stay away from sugar?  Making this one-ingredient “ice cream” is easier than you can imagine, and you don’t even need an ice cream maker!

That’s right, all you need are bananas!  The process is easy:

Gather 2-3 bananas (or more, depending on how much you are making)

Peel & slice the bananas and freeze them in a container or sandwich bag.

When the bananas are frozen, take them out and whip them in a food processor or with a hand mixer.  (If using a hand mixer, make sure the bananas are thawed slightly).

You will have a delicious and nutritious ice cream substitute!  No need to worry about additives, artificial flavors, or sweeteners.  This banana ice cream is creamy, rich, and full of flavor.

You can even make this banana ice cream turn into “banana chocolate chip ice cream” by adding high quality dark chocolate or carob chips, as we did for an extra special treat.

This batch of banana “ice cream” came out as a soft-serve due to thawing the bananas slightly first (not completely, just enough to break them in half with a fork).  For a firmer “ice cream” simply freeze the banana ice cream for a few minutes, until it firms up to your desired ice cream texture.

And that’s it!  It really is that simple to have a healthy snack that tastes just as good as ice cream.

PS:  You’ll never have to waste over-ripe bananas again, since banana ice cream puts over-ripe bananas to great use!
