I’m going to share this amazing technique for making ice cream that is sugar free, “store bought junk” free, vegan and doesn’t require an ice cream maker. It’s as simple as Bananas!

 1. Take a ripe yellow banana, peel it, and slice it into coin size sections. Transfer these banana slices into an air tight container and freeze them for at least 2 hours.

2. Blend the frozen banana pieces in a food processor or blender until they are smooth. First they will appear crumbly, then gooey, then they will look a little like oatmeal, and finally they will have the texture of soft serve ice cream!

 3. At this point you can either transfer them to an airtight container and pop them in the freezer to harden or you can enjoy them right away!My husband and I enjoy strawberry ice cream, so we have been blending frozen strawberries in with the frozen bananas, its amazing! There are no rules, so experiment, be creative and share the tasty new recipes you come up with!Please share your comments on the blog Facebook post so the discussion can be shared on multiple pages. We are still in the process of setting up our comment section on this page.
