Easiest Homemade Ice Cream

No dairy. No sugar. No additives. No nothing!
Just one singular ingredient makes sweet &
creamy soft-serve ice cream... bananas!

It couldn't be easier or healthier:

1) When bananas start to get some sweet brown spots, unpeel them, break them into pieces and put them in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Freeze over night.

2) Put frozen banana chunks in either a food processor or high speed blender (I use a HealthMaster) and blend until lumps are gone and bananas become a creamy consistency.

This was the first time I tried it and it was so good with just this basic recipe - if you can even call it a recipe. The bananas are the base for the creaminess and then you can build on it. Other options I'll try in the future: adding another fruit like strawberries, peaches or mangoes or a little cocoa powder to make chocolate. Some people also add a little honey or agave or vanilla. Try it! (Pictured on top of the ice cream are mini dairy-free organic chocolate chips by Enjoy Life).

Thank you to the kitchn for giving me this idea!
