Easy One Ingredient Healthy Banana Ice Cream Recipe - Step by Step - Vegan/Dairy Free/Gluten Free

I have a terrible sweet tooth especially in the evenings.  My ultimate weakness is chocolate.  I would probably be a super model right now with out my addiction (Just Kidding :P).  Joking aside I would happily eat a whole share bar on my own easily and I find it very hard to have a cup of tea without anything to nibble on!  So I have to (for my own well being) have healthy alternatives on hand to beat the cravings.  Banana ice cream is not only delicious and easy to make but it also has some great health benefits too.

Some Facts on the Benefits of Bananas!

-Bananas contain nutrients that can help moderate blood sugar levels after meals. They may also reduce appetite by slowing stomach emptying.

-Bananas may help with weight loss. They are low in calories, high in nutrients and fiber, and may have appetite-reducing effects.

-Bananas may help relieve muscle cramps caused by exercise. They also provide excellent fuel for endurance exercise.

What you will need for this recipe

Serves one

2 bananas

Your flavours or topping of choice (optional)

Blender

Chopping board

Bowl

1.  Crop Bananas into 6 parts each.  Put in the bowl and freeze for approx an hour (until fairly hard)

2.  Take bananas from freezer.  

3.  Optional - At this point you can add some flavouring.  You can include peanut butter, caramel syrup, fruit or as I usually do a tea spoon of hot chocolate powder to give it a chocolatey kick. Grated dark chocolate is another great option.  You can add just about anything you like!

4.  Put all ingredient in blender and well... Blend.

5.  Put back in a bowl and leave in freezer until hard again (approx an hour)

6.  You can now eat it as it is or add a topping such as nuts, fruit, marshmallow or as I some grated chocolate. 

If you do decide to try this send me some pictures!  or if you have any flavour ideas for me I would love to hear them.

Enjoy

Peace and Love
