If you’re craving a refreshing snack or dessert for these warm summer days, I have the perfect recipe for you. This healthy banana ice cream is so yummy that I really had a hard time leaving some of it for the pictures and not eating it all while preparing it. It’s so sweet and delicious!
This healthy ice cream is low sugar (sugar-free if you use sugar-free dark chocolate) and packed with protein thanks to the Greek yogurt and peanut butter. For a vegan version, replace the Greek yogurt with any other plant yogurt. My recommendation is using coconut yogurt, as the consistency is very similar to the regular Greek yogurt.
I started eating this ice cream back when I just started my healthy journey. I loved it! It’s such a delicious alternative to normal ice cream. With only 4 ingredients, you get a sweet and creamy healthy ice cream. You can eat it for breakfast, as a snack, or to accompany your healthy desserts.
As most of my recipes, this is a very easy dessert to make. However, I do have a few previous tips to give you:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the banana, the sweeter the ice cream will be.
- Slice the bananas and freeze them at least 5 hours before you make the ice cream. I usually freeze them the day before.
- Use a food processor. The normal blenders are not made for solid foods. Otherwise you’ll struggle getting a smooth texture.
- As I mentioned before, for a vegan version use a plant based yogurt.
Now we’re ready to start right off with the recipe:
Ingredients (2 serving):
- 2 bananas
- 1/4 cup of peanut butter
- 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
- 50 gr of dark chocolate 85% cocoa
Instructions
- Grab the frozen banana slices and put them into the food processor.
- Add the peanut butter and Greek yogurt.
- Mix until smooth.
- Place the mixture into a tupperware and add the chocolate chunks.
- Mix with a rubber spatula (or whatever tool you have).
- Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
- Ready to be served.
- Add some topings. I added ground almonds and a few blueberries.
Enjoy!
