chocolate peanut butter banana “ice cream”

Happy 4th of July everyone!!!  

I will keep this post short and sweet so you can get out there and enjoy the festivities!

This is one of our favorite desserts!  It’s SO quick and easy to prepare and I almost always have the ingredients in the house…and if not I compromise!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana “Ice Cream”

1/2 cup almond milk (or any kind of milk)

2 frozen bananas

6 ice cubes

1/4 cup chocolate chips (dairy free)

2 heaping tablespoons peanut butter

-peel, slice and freeze bananas.

-In a blender or food processor, add all ingredients and blend until creamy, enjoy!

I used my vitamix this time however, I have used the food processor in the past.  In the vitamix, start off on level one and increase speed gradually.  This mix was perfectly sweet because I used very ripe bananas.  If the bananas weren’t overly ripe, I would have added a few pitted dates or a tablespoon of maple syrup for sweetness.

Banana “ice cream” can be made with a bunch of different add in such as:

oats, maple syrup, and raisins

mint extract and chocolate chips

almond butter and honey

raspberry and chocolate chips

apple, cinnamon and dates

…you get the picture, the possibilities are endless!
