I finally made Banana "Ice Cream" and it rocks!!


Read the title. That pretty much sums up my post. If you haven't seen the trend of making bananas into ice cream, then you're obviously not on Pinterest. So I decided to just go for it. So this afternoon, I sliced up two bananas into bite size pieces, threw them in a freezer bag (an ice cube tray is useful too) and froze them for a few hours. 
Tonight, after my disappointing pizza (thanks Florida life), I decided I wanted ice cream but was not willing to brave the local Walmart Zoo at this (or any) hour. So I broke up the giant chunk of frozen banana back into it's smaller, more manageable pieces, and added a dash of milk. (You probably don't even need to do that; it's a personal preference I added with my Serious Mass powder. Vary the recipe for your diet. Duh.)
 I also threw in some cinnamon, a little vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. I used my Rocket Blender to mix it all up. If you have a cheap blender like me, it will probably take a few attempts; make sure you clean off the blades each round. Continue until smooth. Mine was cold, but not cold enough, and almost like very thick mousse consistency, so I put in a Tupperware, swirled in some cookie pieces and stuck back in the freezer for a bit.
The results? Very appetizing! A super easy way to enjoy ice cream and get some potassium in too!

Ingredients:
2 bananas, sliced, frozen
1-1/2 tbsp of cocoa powder
2 teaspoons of vanilla extra
Dash of cinnamon 
(Dash of milk)

Directions: 
Mix all together in blender until smooth. Garnish as preferred. Freeze extra if needed. Enjoy consistently!
