Banana Nice Cream

5/16/2022

free of everything but bananas, haha

Welp. It happened. We hit our first 100+ degree day here in Arizona and it's only May.

It's fine. I'm fine. We're fine.

Summer heat usually puts me in a big funk (bring on alllll things fall and winter and I'm a happy girl) but the last two years have left most of us in a big funk and I am determined to inject so much joy into this year I started with healthy ice cream.

Or what is most commonly called "nice cream".

Made with three simple ingredients, this was a HUGE hit with the kids. They feel like they're getting an indulgent treat every day and we are finding a fun way to connect in the kitchen AND stay cool.

Because the good Lord above knows we will need it for the next few months.

Banana Nice Cream

What You'll Need

A high-powered Blender or Food Processor (we use the Ninja and LOVE it)
6-8 Bananas, peeled, coined and frozen
1/8 C. dairy-free milk of choice
1 tsp. vanilla

How To Make It

A day ahead, peel and cut your bananas. (If you use bagged frozen banana slices you can skip this step!)
Lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet covered in parchment and freeze. This will ensure the best texture for your Nice Cream.
Place frozen banana slices, milk and vanilla in your blender and blend on medium-high until you reach the perfect Nice Cream consistency (as pictured above).
Top with fresh banana, chocolate shavings, crushed cashews or fresh berries!

Do you have a favorite Nice Cream flavor? We also did a batch of Cinnamon Roll that I will add to the blog soon too!

We just got new popsicle molds and are on the hunt for a good ice cream maker and we have SO many ideas for this season!

In celebration of #NationalWatermelonDay with WTRMLN WTR, these coconutty and creamy watermelon popsicles are perfect for a hot summer day for adults and kids alike. My little guy devours these and we love to enjoy them at home or by the pool.

INGREDIENTS:
1 + 1/4 cup cup fresh watermelon slices
½ cup WTRMLN WTR
½ cup coconut milk

PREPARATION:
Puree 1 cup of chopped WTRMLN slices with ½ cup WTRMLN WTR and pour into popsicle molds so molds are 2/3 full.
Freeze for 30 minutes and pour chilled coconut milk on top of frozen watermelon blend.
Top with remaining watermelon slices and freeze for an additional 30 minutes. Rinse molds under warm water to release popsicle, add dried or toasted coconut for crunch and enjoy somewhere near a pool or beach.
