Calling all Ice Cream Lovers!

We’re big ice cream fans over here at Fit Foodie Finds, so we set out to create our own healthy nice cream recipes that:

1. Didn’t take forever to make or require an ice cream maker (haii, my kitchen doesn’t need another kitchen gadget that ONLY makes one thing).
2. Wasn’t filled with a bunch of crap ingredients. So, here we are! Get ready for your new favorite chocolate nice cream! And it’s oh so easy to make, too.

Healthy Chocolate Nice Cream Ingredients

Let’s start by taking a little looksy at this ingredient list. It won’t take long to read through; we’ll wait 😀

• Frozen sliced bananas
• Cocoa powder
• Unsweetened almond milk
• vanilla extract

How to Make Healthy Nice Cream

With a little prep beforehand, this healthy chocolate nice cream can be whipped up in no time at all. We’ll walk ya through it with us:

Freeze Sliced Bananas

Simply slice bananas evenly and place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Place the entire sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. When you take your nanners out of the freezer, you’ll just need to scrape them off the parchment paper and place right in the blender (if you’re making this healthy nice cream right away), or into a ziploc or Stasher bag to keep in the freezer for later use. Freezing the sliced bananas on a baking sheet first will prevent your bananas from sticking together when you place them in a bag. Want a step-by-step on this process? WE GOT YOU.

Place all Ingredients in a High-Speed Blender

Measure out your frozen sliced bananas, cocoa powder, almond milk and vanilla extract and place it all in your high-speed blender. You’ll want a serious blender or food processor for this step to ensure all the bananas are blended to perfection. If you use your blender for smoothies with frozen ingredients, you’re good to go here!

Blend it Up

Blend up all your ingredients until smooth. Depending on how frozen solid your banana slices are, you may need to thin out your healthy ice cream with almond milk. We recommend thinning it with a tablespoon of almond milk at a time until you get your desired consistency.

Serve or Freeze for Later

Because your banana slices were frozen when you started this recipe, the consistency of your healthy ice cream should be perfect to serve up with a soft serve consistency and enjoy immediately. But if you’re making this ahead of time, or would prefer to save some for later, line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour your ice cream into the pan. Store covered (we used aluminum foil to cover the pan!) in your freezer and enjoy at your leisure.

Don’t Forget Toppings
