Perfection
When Gena at Choosing Raw first posted this “recipe” she titled it “This Post Will Change Your Life” and I am happy to report that she is not lying to us. My life is changed. This is amazing.
What am I ranting about? Ice cream!
You love ice cream, right? Frozen yogurt, sundaes, whatever. I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM.
Banana soft serve
I actually don’t even really like ice cream. I was more of a popsicle kid myself. My favorite treat at Dairy Queen was a lime Mr. Misty–no Blizzards for me. I’m not saying I won’t eat ice cream. I’m saying it’s not my first choice.
This is my new first choice: banana soft serve. Are you ready for the super complicated ingredient list?
Frozen bananas
Mmmhmm. That’s it. Frozen bananas. Put a chopped frozen banana in a food processor and let it go. It’ll whip up into a frenzy of delicious airy soft serve. Kill me.
So if you’re raw and vegan like Gena, this is your ice cream replacement. I am neither so I added a splash of almond milk and cinnamon to mine. You could use regular milk, cocoa powder, whatever you want. Oh and the toppings… I had some maple toasted sunflower seeds but the possibilities are endless… coconut, fresh fruit, chocolate chips… PEANUT BUTTER CUPS. Mmm.
Eat this!
I strongly recommend trying this. Use a small food processor (I used the chopper attachment for my immersion blender) if you’re just making one serving. If you throw one banana into a 10-cup food processor I feel like it’ll just fly around in circles and never combine.
Thanks Gena! I am forever changed.

You are SO welcome! I’m really happy you love it as much as I do!
When I was a kid, we had an opportunity to buy an ice cream treat at school each day. I bought a frozen banana treat everyday. They looked like fudgesicles, except it was frozen banana ice cream. Those, my friend, were the good ole days! I hope that I can recreate that taste with this yummy recipe.
add peanut butter. you will not regret it. and/or chopped semi-sweet chocolate. you know, if you’re looking for something super dessert-y.

Do you freeze your bananas without the peel? When I tried to take the peel off last night it almost froze my fingers off.. advice?
oh yes. definitely don’t keep the peel on. i freeze them whole (peel-less) and then slice them up for easy processing. i thought it’d be smart to slice them before freezing but i tried that last night and they get way too hard, like little rocks. so yeah, freeze whole without and peel and then use a really sharp knife to cut it into smaller pieces when you’re ready to use them.
