Banana Chocolate Ice Cream

by

Hello All! Excited to be back on my blog finally! I did a little makeover and I’m very excited to post my recipes on here regularly! So much has happened since I last posted in May. I graduated with my Associates in Advertising Marketing Communication, I am still attending school to receive my Bachelors Degree, and I also enrolled in IIN- Institute for Integrative of Nutrition which has been amazing. I’ve been mesmerized by each lecture that are each more fascinating than the next. As a bonus, I am now able to share my knowledge with you all in my Health Coaching Services! Plus a million other things have happened but I’ll save that stuff for another post! A couple of months ago I did a cooking class with teenagers. It was so amazing to see kids so interested in eating a cleaner more plant-based diet. I know when I was 15 that was not on my mind. I did know ice cream was! So I knew this would be the perfect kid friendly dessert to make with them. I wanted to show them how easy it was to make a rich and satisfying dessert with all healthy ingredients. It’s so important to get kids comfortable in the kitchen… There is such an accomplishing feeling knowing you made something by yourself!

Recipe:

Ingredients 

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (optional)
  • dash of pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8-1/4 cup of almond milk or water
  • Optional toppings: chocolate chips, crushed nuts, coconut, granola,berries,cocoa nibs etc

Directions: Peel bananas and freeze for at least 2 hours. Once frozen, combine everything in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Adjust liquid depending on how thick you like it. Vitamix works best for this recipe
