Bananas, when frozen and blended, have the consistency of ice cream. This is a great recipe for anyone who loves bananas, and vegans who don't eat ice cream -- because when it's hot out, everyone wants something cold to eat. I made it today after a good work out -- I was avoiding too much milk and wanted something refreshing and healthy, and it definitely did the trick.
This recipe is low in fat, has no added sugar, has a natural source of potassium and fiber thanks to the banana, and a little added protein and delicious flavor with the peanut butter.
How do you like your banana "ice cream"? Tell me in the comments section how you liked it and if you put your own twist on it (i.e. chocolate)!
Serves 1
Ingredients
1 banana, chopped1 tbsp. peanut butter
a couple chopped walnuts or pecans (I used some roasted pecans I had on hand)
How I did it
Chop the banana, and freeze it for about two hours on a plate. Add banana to a cup, blend with a hand blender. (I use a hand blender because a) easy clean up and b) you get chunks of banana when you are eating it -- yummy!) Add the peanut butter once the banana has blended down. Blend for 30 seconds. Scoop out into a bowl, sprinkle nuts on top and enjoy :-)
