[Edit]Steps
[Edit]Classic
- You can’t go wrong with the basics! Freeze 1 banana for around 2 hours, then chop it up into pieces. Blend the pieces until the banana looks gooey and smooth. You might have to scrape down your blender a few times, so keep an eye on it![1]
- After that, simply pour your banana ice cream into a bowl and dig in.
[Edit]Peanut butter
- Add a shot of healthy protein to your ice cream. When you throw your bananas in the blender, drop a spoonful (or two) of peanut butter in as well. The creamy flavors blend together perfectly for a rich, delicious dessert.[2]
- If you want a bit of texture in your ice cream, try crunchy peanut butter!
[Edit]Nutella
- Bananas, chocolate, and hazelnuts can’t be beat. After you throw your frozen bananas into the blender, add 2 spoonfuls of Nutella in there too. Blend the mixture together for a yummy mix of flavors that could win anyone over.[3]
- For extra sweet goodness, top your ice cream off with some whipped cream.
[Edit]Cinnamon
- Try a low-calorie flavor booster to stick with healthy options. Before you blend your bananas, add 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 g) of cinnamon in, too. Mix your ingredients together for a healthy way to spice up your ice cream.[4]
- Adding cinnamon is virtually calorie-free.
[Edit]Cocoa powder
- Serve this ice cream to the chocoholics in your life. Chop up your frozen banana, then sprinkle 1 tbsp (17 g) of cocoa powder in with the pieces. Blend the mixture together until your ice cream turns super chocolatey, then serve![5]
- This is another option that doesn’t add many calories at all.
[Edit]Honey
- Sweeten your ice cream naturally with some raw honey. Drizzle a spoonful or two over your frozen bananas, then blend your mixture together. If you absolutely love honey, you could even drizzle a little bit on top, too![6]
[Edit]Almonds
- Give your ice cream a crunch with some nuts. Pour a handful of almonds in with your frozen bananas, then blend them up. The almonds will crush up into small pieces so they’re easy to eat (and even easier to enjoy).[7]
- If almonds aren’t your thing, try cashews or walnuts instead.
[Edit]Shredded coconut
- Add some fruity flavor to the top of your ice cream. Once your bananas are blended, pour them into a bowl. Grab a cheese grater and shred some coconut over the top of your ice cream before you dig in.[8]
- If you love the flavor of coconut and want your ice cream a little creamier, add a splash of coconut milk into the blender before you blend your bananas.
[Edit]Chocolate chips
- Give your ice cream a sweet addition. When your bananas are blended, pour them into a bowl and grab a spoon. Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top for a delicious treat in every bite.[9]
- If you don’t want the crunch, skip the chips and add chocolate sauce on top instead.
[Edit]Granola
- Banana ice cream for breakfast, anyone? When your bananas are blended, sprinkle on a handful of plain granola. Grab a bite of crunchy banana goodness in every spoonful.[10]
- Mix in some chopped strawberries or a handful of blueberries for the ultimate breakfast meal.
[Edit]Vanilla wafer cookies
- Make your ice cream feel more like banana pudding. Blend up your bananas and pour them into a serving bowl. Add 3 to 4 vanilla wafer cookies on top, then use your spoon to crush them up before digging in.[11]
- You could also crunch up a few waffle cones and sprinkle them over your bowl for a crunchy treat.
[Edit]Tips
- Banana ice cream melts pretty quickly, so eat fast!
