Banana Ice cream

I was very skeptical of this recipe at first - I mean, what's ice cream without the cream? But it tastes delicious, it's versatile, and guilt-free. Perfect accompaniment this summer!

You'll need:
3-4 ripe bananas
Optional add-ons:
50gms chocolate or chocolate spread
1 tbsp peanut butter

1 tsp coffee dissolved in 1 tbsp water
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Almond/walnut toppings


Peel and slice bananas and freeze for a few hours. Then blitz it in a blender. The creamy texture of the banana gives it a creamy consistency. Add the Add-ons (just one or a combination) while blending or as a topping. And Voila! The perfect refresher for the summer heat.

Banana facts:
  • It's high in Potassium for good nerve and muscle function
  • It's got Vitamin C for your immune system
  • It's got Vitamin B-6 (mostly found in animal products) for cell rejuvenation
  • It's a good source of fiber, manganese, and other nutrients like iron and calcium boosting your energy - a great pre and post workout snack.
  • It's good for your stomach - helps reduce stomach acidity, is a good hangover cure, and promotes bowel health.
