I finally tried the banana "ice cream" that's been circulating around the internet and it's true: the texture is amazing! This healthy treat is so easy to make and is made even more delicious by the addition of a FitJoy Chocolate Peanut Butter protein bar and some fresh berries!

Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 3 very ripe bananas (look for ones that are getting pretty brown on the outside)
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut cream
  • 1 FitJoy Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar, chopped
  • raspberries and pomegranate seeds (optional)
Instructions
  1. Chop the bananas into 1/2-inch slices and lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Stick these in the freezer for at least a few hours. Once they're frozen, you can transfer the bananas into a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer, so I froze a couple of batches of these for future ice cream making!
  2. When the bananas are frozen, stick them in a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until they're in crumbles. Use a spatula to shuffle them around a bit so they'll chop evenly. Add the coconut cream. Continue processing, stopping every 30 seconds or so to stir. It'll look like they're just going to stay a crumbly mess, but keep pulsing and the magic will happen! You'll see the bananas start to take on a creamy, soft serve texture.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and top with chopped FitJoy Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar, fresh berries, and pomegranate seeds.
