Banana Ice Cream Update...

Hey everyone! I can't believe it's almost August....where has the summer gone??? I don't know about you, but at our house, we have been trying to keep cool as much as possible (air conditioning always helps with that;).

One of the ways we have kept cool is finding new ways to fancy up our beloved banana ice cream (if you didn't catch that post, click here). Here are two ways we have experimented!

1. Ice Cream on Oatmeal

This is honestly my new favourite breakfast. I love the way the ice cream melts on the hot oatmeal, and it gives an otherwise bland food a kick of sweetness.

2. Raspberry Banana Ice Cream

This was actually my husband's idea to throw about a cup of frozen raspberries in with our frozen bananas. The result was fabulous! As Chris says "it is BETTER THAN regular ice cream"...That's quite a compliment from a picky eater like him!

Have you guys tried this recipe yet? Did you do try anything new with it?

This Ice Cream is Bananas!

I have to admit that when I heard that you can make ice cream out of just frozen bananas, I was pretty skeptical. I'm sure I mentioned it before, but I LOVE creamy food, and ice cream is on the top of my list. I stumbled upon this recipe somewhere in blogland, and have since adapted it to my own taste. From the first time I tried it, it changed my life...Dramatic words, I know, but it really did! With no added preservatives, sugar, and nothing but bananas, this stuff is AMAZING! Not only do I love it, but my picky husband and kids also LOVE it. Of course the girls love it because it's the only ice cream I let them eat for breakfast! Just try it, and let me know what you think:)

Banana Ice Cream

Ingredients: Frozen bananas (no kidding!)



1. Begin the night before by chopping up some bananas, and freezing them. I have found that ripe bananas work the best...You know when they are spotted, but not "over ripe" yet? That's the perfect time to try this one:)

2. Put your frozen chopped bananas in your food processor, and let it rip.

3. I must add that it can take a while before it starts to look like ice cream....be patient! For about 2-3 minutes, it will look like banana crumbles!


4. It's a good idea to stop the processor every so often and push down the sides with a spatula.


5. Getting creamy!
6. And it's done!

As you can see, it's a hit! You can totally try new things with this recipe, like adding fruit, chocolate sauce, etc. I love comments, so let me know if you found something that works good with this recipe!
