This summer we have seen some really high temperatures, with some days in July being the hottest July days ever! So every time I hear the ice-cream truck come in our lane, I want to go running behind it, shouting for it to stop. Apparently next week again is going to be really hot but instead of chasing the ice-cream truck, I have my own guilt free healthy ice-cream (or nice cream as it is has been termed) recipe, made from frozen bananas, on hand :)
I always store frozen bananas in my freezer. All you need to do is chop the bananas, put them in a freezer bag or a sealed container and freeze for 5-6 hours or overnight. You then blend the bananas to get a nice soft ice-cream scoop like texture. You can experiment with flavours - add cocoa powder to get chocolate ice-cream, peanut butter for peanut butter ice-cream, fruit of your choice and so on and so forth. Today I made blueberry nice-cream.
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, chopped and frozen
3 ripe bananas, chopped and frozen
100 gms frozen blueberries
1 tbsp pure maple syrup (or as required)
Method
Add the frozen bananas, blueberries and maple syrup to a food processor or blender and whiz. Scrape the sides using a spatula.
Serve immediately and indulge guilt-free!
