Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream

I saw this recipe on a cooking show today and just had to try it.

Cut up a banana into 1 inch slices and put in the freezer until frozen. When frozen put in the food processor and blend until creamy. Really you can stop the recipe here and just have the frozen banana mush which tastes just like ice cream, or you can add some peanut butter. I added half a tablespoon of peanut putter and it was yummy. I was thinking of adding some choc chips instead of the peanut butter next time.

On the cooking show they added honey, but you really don't need it - the banana is sweet enough on its own.


(Darn ticker - I just added it today so it doesn't show any loss. Ive obviously used this site off and on for a few years, but I've lost 2 pounds in this latest quest)

    If you were closer, I'd kiss you! (Scary, I know.)

    Seriously -- thank you so much! I always have leftover bananas and throw them in the freezer. I use them in smoothies, but this is even easier -- esp. since I have a hand-held immersion blender!

    I wonder how it would be with a bit of Swiss Miss 25 calorie cocoa mix stirred in ...

    middlegoss -- I'm just planning to add each ingredient separately. 1 banana, however much peanut butter, etc.

    Yum!! That sounds so good! And I even have the ingredients for it on-hand. I think I'll go stick a banana in the freezer now for tomorrow.

    LOL, that is funny, you saw this on 5 ingredient fix, right? I have a banana in the freezer right now cause I thought it sounded great too. There have been posts, on here before, about the frozen banana ice cream but I had never seen/heard about adding peanut butter or anything else. I am going to add chocolate PB2 to mine.

    Yes - it was the 5 Ingredient show!

    I calculated it as a recipe and it came up with 153 cals, 30 carbs, 5 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein. Cals will depend on the size of the banana you use and what you add to it.

    And thanks for the ticker tip - I've updated now!

    I made this for my kids tonight......amazing.

    Except when I put the bananas in the food processor, I got nothing creamy---just crumbled banana. So we added the pnbutter and a splash of chocolate milk----it seriously came out like custard!!!!! I snuck a taste, and it was incredibly amazing.

    This is AKA Vegan Soft-Serve.

    When I make mine I add a few TBSP of almond milk, some chia seeds, either PB or chocolate, or some other frozen fruits. It's always such a nice treat. I love having mine with oatmeal. If you want some awesome recipes for this treat check out www.ohsheglows.com/ and search for Vegan Soft-Serve. You'd be surprised what a little creativity can get you :bigsmile:
