Strawberry-Banana Soft Serve Healthy "Ice Cream"


In my ever-ongoing effort to be a healthier person, I like to explore healthy recipes sometimes.  This is a version of one that was recommended by a friend.  It's simple, fast, and healthy, as well as really, really delicious.  Definitely hits the spot when you want something frozen, fruity, or sweet.  (It isn't chocolate though.  So if what you really crave is fudge covered, caramel swirled, or filled with cookie chunks, you should probably try something else.)    

Also, I know that there are people who have machines out there to make bananas into "ice cream."  If you don't already have one of those, DO NOT invest in one.  A food processor or blender will work just as well...for this recipe anyway.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 frozen bananas (freeze as "coins" because the cut up version will be much easier on your kitchen equpment)
  • about 5 or 6 oz (like two handfuls) of frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup cold almond milk with vanilla (mine is unsweetened/light)


Directions:

  1. Put all ingredients in the blender.
  2. Blend until the consistency of soft serve
  3. Scoop out
  4. Actually, that's it.  There really isn't another step.
