Banana Peanut Butter "Ice Cream"

     This ain't your average ice cream! I've seen so many recipes for it and I've been meaning to give it a try, and damn I'm glad I did! It's banana based, so it's healthier for you, there are no refined ingredients, and it's dairy free. Not to mention its creamy and delicious......

      For all you dieters out there, this is a good way to indulge without the saturated fat and loads of sugar found in ice cream. Plus, if you really want to treat yourself, you can fold in all sorts of goodies to the mix. I used chocolate chips, coconut and peanuts but you could try m&ms, reese's pieces or any other type of candy.

      It freezes well and the texture basically mimics regular ice cream. I'm sure little kids would love this treat and it would be a great way to sneak in some nutritional value to their desserts!

Making ice cream at home has never been so easy!

P.S. - If you love the sound of this ice cream, you'd love the Banana PB & Chocolate Milkshake Recipe. It's great for breakfast or dessert!
