I'm Going Bananas, Literally!!

How exciting is it to eat healthy and get something you crave....ICE CREAM!!

 I love ice cream, as many of you know! I love ice cream so much that we had an ice cream bar at our wedding!

Granted, I used to eat "slow churned" ice cream, which is generally half the fat, and lower sugar, its still not "healthy." I've debated this several times, and every time I hear my husband says "its not healthy, its just not as bad for you as other things."
 So with that, I give you my current post, MY healthy ice cream: Frozen banana and fruit... let me explain!

Sitting at home, feeling sick with a cold, I can't taste much of anything, so for me, I wanted something hot or cold: Soup and Ice cream. Now I was not about to breakdown and buy a sugar/fat/random ingredient filled bucket of goodness...so I started playing around.

Since I make smoothies a lot, I had some frozen banana in the freezer (hint, put them in the freezer sliced, when they're ripe, good and ripe.) I also had some frozen strawberries. I took out the food processor and added a cup of frozen banana and 2 frozen strawberries. I then added just a touch of almond milk. Hit that baby on high and let it go. I had to stop a few times to wipe down the sides, so it would continue to blend, after about 3 minutes, I had what looked like creamy, delicious, pink, soft serve ice cream.
 WOOOO HOOO!

Now some may gamble with whether this is healthy or not, for me, I say yes! 3 ingredients, could be two, if you want it thicker minus the milk. Its totally Paleo, and dairy free, and gluten free, and everything else. Yes, fruit is sugar, but natural sugar.

I will most definitely be making this again, and again, and again!

** Take note of the serving size, just enough to get my fill :-)
