Did you know that you can make awesome soft serve banana ice cream with nothing but frozen bananas? It’s true! And it’s delicious, obviously healthy and so easy to make! Plus, it’s easy to add whatever mix-ins you want – chocolate chips, caramel sauce (my choice 🙂 ), you name it!

To start, you need – you got it – bananas! They can be really ripe and browned or not, depending on how strong you want the banana flavor to be (or how strong your willpower to wait for them to brown is 🙂 ). I used 3 bananas.

Just slice them into chunks and freeze until hard. When they are good and frozen, toss them into a food processor and chop those babies up. It will initially just break the big chunks into smaller chunks.

You’ll need to scrape down the sides a few times. It will be pretty thick and it’ll take a minute or two of processing and then…

You can eat it right away, while it’s still soft like frozen yogurt or you can freeze it. The nice thing about when it’s frozen is that even though it firms up, it still remains easily scoopable. It’s a fabulous, guilt free treat. Definitely one of my new favorites!

      I’ve never tried that, but I’d think it’d be fine. You’ll surprised how creamy it is without it though!
