One Ingredient Banana Ice-cream

Yes, you read that right....only one ingredient! Who know the banana was capable of such a thing, right?

I saw a post about this on (yes, you guessed it) Pinterest, and I had to try it!

 

One Ingredient Banana Ice-cream Looks just like the real deal! 

Ingredients: 

3 Bananas, sliced into coins and frozen for at least 2 hours.

Directions:

Put frozen banana coins into a food processor or Vitamix, mix on low until it you have what looks like soft serve ice-cream.

Transfer into a container and put into the freezer until it hardens up to a consistency you like.

That's it! That's all there is to it!

Now, there are variations on this and I have tried two of them...

Nutella Banana Ice-cream:

Ingredients:
3 Bananas, cut into coins and frozen (as directed above)
6 Tbsps Nutella Hazelnut Spread, or other brand of your liking (I know there are healthier ones out there)

Directions:
Put frozen banana coins into a food processor or Vitamix, mix on low until it you have what looks like soft serve ice-cream. Add Nutella and mix a little longer. Transfer into a container and put into the freezer until it hardens up to a consistency you like.

The other variation is just banana, but my bananas were in the freezer for a few days, so they were really hard. I added some Almond Breeze Coconut/Almond milk to it so it could mix easier. Next time I make this version I plan on adding some vanilla whey protein powder to it as well. I really liked the hint of coconut with the banana!

You can top these variations with a little granola, fresh fruit or even a light sprinkle of mini dark chocolate chips to really feel like you're splurging!

So there ya have it! A quick, easy and healthy way to treat yourself with some "ice-cream" AND sneak in another fruit serving!

Enjoy!
