Have a lot of ripe bananas and not sure what to do with them? Tired of banana bread, or too hot to even THINK of starting up the oven?
No worries!
Just slice and freeze those bananas, and tomorrow you’ll be able to toss them in a high speed blender or food processor with just a few extra ingredients for a creamy frozen treat that’s as smooth as ice cream without the cholesterol, saturated fat, or cancer growing casein. Not to mention the added benefits of potassium and other nutrients found in bananas. Sounds good, right? Even better – it’s totally kid approved. Will & Andrew LOVE making variations of this frozen treat!
Here’s our chocolate chocolate chip recipe:
3 Frozen Bananas (peel and slice prior to freezing)
3 pitted medjool dates
1 T lucuma powder (optional – it sweetens things without adding refined sugar. Maple syrup is also great here!)
2 T raw cacao powder (cocoa powder can be substituted, but the antioxidant levels in organic raw cacao powder are through the roof in comparison to cocoa powder, which has been roasted.)
Vegan chocolate chips for serving
Place all ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender and process until smooth! Top with chocolate chips.
For variations, try skipping the chocolate and adding a handful of strawberries for a beautiful pink treat.
This stuff gets kind of melty, so enjoy right away. It has a soft serve texture that’s easy for kids to spoon and enjoy!
