This recipe is for healthy chocolate banana ice cream. Well, the ice cream part is really pseudo ice cream, but blending the frozen banana with a food processor gives a very ice cream like texture. This recipe is naturally sugar-free. It is my go-to quick recipe to fill my chocolate craving while still maintaining my sugar-free diet. My children also like this healthy ice cream for breakfast or snack time.

How to Make Healthy Chocolate Banana Ice Cream

Step 1: Freeze your bananas

Peel and freeze your bananas. I keep a regular stock of frozen bananas for making this recipe or fruit smoothies anytime.

Step 2: Pull out your food processor

You will need a food processor to make this recipe work. A blender just will not give you the same results. I bought this mini one from Amazon and have been really happy with the results. It is easy to use and clean and makes a small batch of ice cream. You can make a single recipe of ice cream in this food processor or increase the recipe to 1 1/2 ingredients. I did try doubling the recipe and it over filled this little food processor.


Step 3: Prepare the ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana, sliced into one inch chunks
  • 2 Tablespoons of plain yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking cocoa
  • 1/4 of an avocado (optional)*

The avocado does slightly change the texture of the end result. I prefer the ice cream without the avocado, but it is a good way to sneak in some extra nutrition to your diet. I also like to double the chocolate when I make this recipe for myself.

Step: 4: Blend ingredients

 

 

 

 

 

Place your ingredients in the food processor. Put the lid on and plug in the machine. Push the top button to blend.
