Healthy Banana Icecream Recipe

I couldn’t believe that a delicious recipe for icecream could be this simple. Even more amazing is that whipped up frozen bananas do actually have the consistency of traditional icecream.  And it is healthy!

Slice bananas and freeze until solid. Place frozen bananas in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy (thawing the bananas for 5 minutes first makes it easier to blitz). Eat immediately or refreeze if desired to use later. If using later, remove from freezer a few minutes before use to allow to soften.

You can just use one banana or make a whole lot.  I’ve taken to freezing them in sandwich bags of 2 sliced bananas each – just put the slices in the bag, spread them out a bit and seal it, then put them in the freezer, no need to freeze them on a baking tray first.

You can easily mix in any combination you like of other ingredients to create different flavours.  You can stick to adding other healthy ingredients like berries, yoghurt, nut butters and honey or you can be a bit more decadent with things like chocolate or nutella. The creative stage is yours….

These are some I’ve tried:
