Ice Cream...Only Healthy!

Sorry it has been so long. I have been repeating some of my tried and true recipes or having another staple of the deployed soldier family menu planning...cereal. Done with soccer so now I have some more time to bake, cook, and scour for recipes. Today's is new and so yummy!

I love eating dessert. However, my family's history of diabetes does not like me to eat dessert! So, I found this recipe and thought, maybe, just maybe it will be good. It wasn't just good. It was fighting over the last bite good....with my boys....who are so super picky!

Homemade Ice Cream (click the title to get the original post of this recipe)

2 bananas
1 scoop of peanut butter
1/2 spoonful of cocoa powder

Cut the bananas into slices about 1 cm thick. Place into a dish that can be placed in the freezer. Let them freeze about an hour or two.

Take them out and place in a food processor (or in my case, mini chopper). Blend. Scrape the side. Blend some more. Scrape. You are getting the picture. When you think it will never work, blend some more. It will go from granules to smooth creamy looking ice cream.

Put back into the bowl and add your pb and cocoa. We added some cinnamon to the last bite and will be adding that at the beginning from now on.

Is this exactly like ice cream...yes, it appears to be. However, it tastes like banana. So, if this won't cut it for you....sorry. It so makes me feel like I got an amazing dessert, and my tummy is happy. For those who know my children, you know that they don't just eat all the amazing things I come up with when they are presented. When I say this is great, it is! No lie. Don't wait. Go get your bananas. Out, run to the store. Yes, it is that good!

Eat the whole container. You can! Happy Eating! Enjoy!
