Easiest/Yummiest/Healthiest Banana Ice Cream EVER!

I was reading the Family Fun magazine today while Lucy and Linc played in the sandbox. This recipe caught my eye and we immediately went home and made it. It just so happened that I had a cookie sheet in the freezer full of banana slices so it took about 2 minutes to make. This snack was seriously a HUGE hit. I put it in ice cream cones and Lucy and Linc (and Nate) thought they were in Heaven. Next time I might add some chocolate and make a chunky monkey ice cream...

Ingredients:
1 large overripe banana
1 Tablespoon creamy peanut butter (optional, but delicious!)

Instructions:

1. Cut a large, overripe banana into 1/2-inch slices, seal them in a ziplock bag, and freeze until hard, around an hour.

2. Puree the frozen slices in a blender or food processor until smooth, then serve. (For a nutty alternative, add a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter to the blender before pureeing). Makes 2 servings.

  1. so it is just bananas and PB? The ninja is going to love this! And 1 T of PB should be fine for C.

  2. Yes, just PB and bananas. You might have to put quite a few bananas b/c the ninja doesn't have blades at the bottom...at least I had to so it would blend.

  5. Amy, have you tried the chunky monkey pancakes from our best bites? You might just love them from the looks of this recipe.
