Choco Banana 'Ice Cream'

It would seem cruel to talk about the lovely choco banana 'ice cream' and not share the goodness. For one thing, frozen bananas are awesome on their own, but tend to get even better when gussied up with chocolate, nuts, coconut, whatever.

When you freeze bananas, the creamy texture impersonates ice cream really well. Add to the fact that they have tons of natural sweetness and you've got a simple healthy dessert at the press of a button. Assuming you have a food processor.

I used some Navitas raw cacao powder and a few Enjoy Life chocolate chunks to top it off. This is a truly wholesome and delicious dessert. You can just keep it as banana if you like to really be pure, but cut yourself some slack every now and then.


1 banana, sliced and frozen
2tsp raw cacao powder
Chocolate Chunks
*Almond milk, other non-dairy milk, regular milk, as needed


After your banana has frozen, pull from freezer and allow to sit for a few minutes to soften. This will help in the process of ice creaming. Add banana slices to a food processor and process until smooth. You may want the help of some form of milk here if your food processor is wimpy and little like mine. Once the consistency looks like ice cream, add the cacao powder and process again until blended.


Top with chocolate chunks (or shredded coconut, or nuts, or whatever) and enjoy with a spoon!
