Step 1 of 5

Slice 3 bananas and freeze for 24 hours.

Step 2 of 5

Thaw bananas for 20 minutes and place in a food processor or blender and blend till smooth.

Step 3 of 5

At this point you can add anything you want. If fruit do the same as bananas. Freeze then thaw and add. I added cacao powder.

Step 4 of 5

End result looks like chocolate ice cream but tastes better and a lot healthier for you!!

Step 5 of 5

All done!! Enjoy!

I just made a very similar guide last night! You can check it out if you like! I used whey protein and finished it off with honey and almonds :)

I make mine a little different. I freeze overipe bananas in their peels & when I want to use I cut in half & micro for 30 secs, peel and put in food processor w/ a little cocoa powder & frozen strawberries. Process until desired thickness & enjoy!

Delicious! I added coconut milk and peanut butter as well as a scoop of chocolate protein powder. It was like soft ice cream and very yummy. Thanks for posting this idea.

Jeannette- i am not sure because there is never any leftovers :-)

Does this store well? If so, for how long?

Margarita- i would guess freezing them would allow them to be able to have the consistency of ice cream once blended.

Jennifer: i will have to try that one. Sounds yummy!!

Stacey Wilkowski (author) 10 months ago

I never thaw. I do 2 frozen bananas, 1 cup of almond or coconut milk (sugar free vanilla coconut milk is my favorite), and then usually a tablespoon of peanut butter. DELICIOUS!!!
