Banana Ice Cream
I have recently discovered banana ice cream and it is my new favorite treat. And the best part? My kids LOVE it too! It is the perfect guilt-free, low-sugar summer snack. My kids could eat this all day and never even know it’s not “real” ice cream. I’m not even a big fan of bananas and I love it. The banana flavor isn’t overpowering at all (especially when you add some mix-ins). It turns out smooth, creamy, and delicious every time. JUST like ice cream!
Is Banana Ice Cream Healthy?
Yes! This is considered a healthy snack because you are literally just eating a banana. It is a vegan, dairy-free, low calorie, high potassium snack. Plus, there are no added sugars!
Is Banana Ice Cream Keto?
Although this is a very healthy treat, it is not considered “Keto”. This is because bananas are naturally higher in carbohydrates and has a good amount of natural sugars.
Banana Ice Cream Ingredients
Banana ice cream is just one easy ingredient: bananas. Some like to add a little splash of vanilla or a splash of coconut milk (which is delicious), but honestly just one ingredient is all you need!

Tips On Making Banana Ice Cream
Freeze your bananas sliced. You can use whole frozen bananas but I have found it is hard on my food processor. It is much easier to blend up slices. Find more great tips on freezing bananas HERE.Use a food processor. I have a Blendtec blender and it works pretty well, but if you have a low-powered blender I wouldn’t recommend it. Even though I have a high-powered blender, I still like the food processor better.If it seems crumbly and isn’t smoothing out… keep blending! It will get smooth eventually, promise.Re-freeze after blending to make “scoop-able” ice cream
