Seriously crazy good, simple, fast, healthy, diary-free, no sugar  Y E S!

I am in my happy place. 

OMG this really tastes like soft serve ice cream, but its just frozen bananas and organic vanilla powder.  

I didn't make up this recipe.  I have seen variations of this recipe so many times on Pinterest and YouTube but I thought really...how can just frozen bananas taste like ice cream?  So I finally tried it and its true. Its A M A Z I N G.

Ready?  Here we go...put frozen bananas and vanilla powder in your high speed blender and wait about 5 minutes for the bananas to thaw slightly.

Blend.

Ya that's it.

Ice cream is ready!

I like to use a stainless steel bowl it helps keep it frozen longer.

When I first started making this recipe, I kept running out of frozen bananas and that's a problem because this stuff is my total go to snack.  Ice cream that is totally good for you, totally worth re-arranging your pantry.  Just sayin.

My Banana System

• I re-organized by pantry so that I always have a spot to ripen my bananas
• I found a big container to store my frozen bananas in and then I re-organized my freezer so there is a spot towards the front of my freezer so I can get in and out quickly.  I started using zip lock bags, but I if I kept doing that I would constantly be running out.
• I bought 8 bunches of bananas to get started (yes that's 8 bunches) put them in my (newly well organized) pantry to ripen
• Once they are ripe, I peel them and freeze them whole
• When my frozen banana supply is down to about 1/2 buy 4 more bunches

Think its weird to be eating so many bananas?  Well that crossed my mind too.  So I did some research and yippee it turns out bananas are really good for you.  This one was my favourite source...

By: saltsole.com

Makes: 2 servings.  You can freeze the left overs (if you have any)

What You Need 

• 4 - 5 ripened frozen bananas
• 1/8 teaspoon organic vanilla bean powder (I like the "Organic Traditions" brand) or 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract works great

What To Do

Prep ahead:

(1) Peel and freeze a bunch of ripened bananas for about 8 hours or overnight.

Blend:

(2) Put the frozen bananas and vanilla powder in a high speed blender.  Let it sit for about 5 minutes so that it slightly starts to thaw.  

(3) Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high.  If you are using a Vitamix blender use the tamper to work the bananas down towards the blade.
