Keri's Wellness Wednesday: Guilt-free 'Ice-cream'
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
This homemade ice cream is dairy free, sugar free, inexpensive and genuinely delicious!
Last week we whitened our teeth using banana peels, which meant, we had the actual bananas hanging around... excuse the pun.
With summer finally here, and school holidays around the corner, it is all about about having fun and eating ALL THE THINGS.
Fun food comes with lots of taste, but also lots of sugar, and GUILT but this Ice-cream is healthy and super delicious!
What you will need:
- 2 x bananas per person
- 1 x blender
optional:
- peanut butter (opt for the salt and sugar free variety)
- vanilla extract (also look for the REAL vanilla not just the essence)
- hazelnuts (to add extra deliciousness dry fry (no oil) them in a pan to get them nice and toasty
- cacao (which is the organic and whole version of cocoa)
- cinnamon

Instructions:
Peel the bananas and slice them thickly. Put them on a plate and put the plate (or flat into a ziplock bag) into the freezer until they are solid (at least 2 hours, I put mine overnight)
When you are ready for your 'ice cream', put the bananas in the blender or food processor and... blend!
If you are going to add your extras, do that here, I like to add a teaspoon of raw cacao, drop of vanilla extract, teaspoon peanut butter and sometimes even a shot of coffee.
Eat right away or keep in your freezer in a container with the lid on.

Frozen bananas are also GREAT for your breakfast smoothies, the
texture of the frozen banana turns any smoothie into a thick milkshake
of nutritious deliciousness.
Try frozen banana with frozen mixed
berries, sprinkle of cinnamon, about 1/2 cup water/milk/almond milk and
extra ice if you need. I also like to add a small handful of baby
spinach (I promise you don't even taste it)
