Healthy ice cream? WHAT?

HEALTHY ICE CREAM YOU SAY? SAY WHAT? 
Yup, that was the exact reaction I had when I first saw this "internet craze" of how you can make healthy ice cream with just a banana. I first saw this on youtube from the famous Cassey Ho (Blogilates) where she created this awesome creation of a healthy ice cream just using a bit of almond milk, one banana and a spoonful of peanut butter.

I obviously went to try it, and guess what? IT WAS AWESOME. Even better than original vanilla ice cream, but for you banana haters out there, I suggest you get yourself some frozen fruit of your desire and make a sorbet - cause that also tastes as good as the supermarket ready made ones (even better with less sugar as everything you are putting in, is actually pronounceable).

SO firstly these are the ingredients to make this "cheap and healthy ice-cream" in my own version:

INGREDIENTS:
1. 1 Pack of ripped bananas
2. A blender (best to use a blender such like the nutri-bullet as with a smoothie blender you waste a lot at the bottom of the jar as it is difficult to get in-between the blades)
3. Re-sealable bags or any sandwich/small bag
4. Any toppings of your own (include chocolate chips, crushed nuts, ice-cream drizzle.. ANYTHING you want!)
5. 10-15ml of semi-skimmed milk

METHOD:
1. Take your banana's out of their skin by peeling each banana and cutting them into fairly small chunks (here I bought a bag of 5 ripen bananas from Tesco for 80p! Such a bargain)

2. After peeling and cutting the bananas into chunks place them into re-sealable bags/sandwich bags, and remember to place them equally in each bag so you can control the serving size - which can also control how much you can eat Everytime you make them. I have separated the 5 bananas into 3 bags as I'm making each bag a serving for two people's worth

3. Place the chopped up bananas into the freezer for them to solidify or leave them over night if you wish.

4. After the freezing stage take a bag of bananas out 5 minutes before placing them into your blender - this helps with the process of blending as the banana will have softened up a bit and ease the blending.

5. Blend the bananas till smooth, if they struggle to blend add the semi-skimmed milk bit by bit to ease blending of the bananas. After the blend they should come into a consistency of soft ice cream.

6. Serve up the banana ice cream into a little bowl and top with your favourite toppings! 

I hope you've enjoyed this CHEAP yet YUMMY duplicate of ice cream that gives you more benefits than your original tub of vanilla ice cream!
