My son B, you remember him, right? He gave me the pecan I keep in my pocket. I’ve had it for almost 7 years now and he watches out for me these days.

Well, he loves ice cream. Duh, right? Most boys do. But I am not into giving him a lot of sweets so I had to come up with something different.

He likes smoothies, well I decided to do something a little different.

You take those ripe bananas that are getting close to THAT point, and you know what I mean, slice them into rounds.

Then place them flat inside of a freezer bag. Then freeze.

Why rounds and flat?

This way you can simply take out as many as you want whenever you want and leave the rest.

Why frozen?

This acts like ice cream so you don’t need to worry about the whole freezer time of making it.

When my son wants some ice cream all I do is take out a handful of banana rounds, put them in a food processor, I actually have one of those little mini things that I can use. Yes that is the technical term for it. Don’t judge me!

I add just a touch of milk and some vanilla if I feel like it, but usually not.

Then process until smooth. Just don’t overdo it. There is a difference between ice cream and soup.

Now my son has a healthy ice cream treat and he loves it. Just bananas and I use 1% milk but use whatever you like. Regardless it will be healthier than ice cream. You can even add other fruits to it or even a spoon of peanut butter for protein. But I will tell you, I tried the peanut butter and it kind of freaked me out, but he kind of liked it a little. Hey, he eats it, right?

Happy & Healthy Eating
