Easy & Healthy Banana Ice Cream


Okay. Here is a problem with ice cream: I can't stop eating until it's all gone. Whenever I buy a pint, it's gone within a day or two, if not within an hour. One of my favorite ice cream contains 250 calories per serving, and one pint is for four servings. You do the math. Too much fat and too much sugar... good for the taste, but not for the health. My solution? Don't buy it. No ice cream in the freezer. But then there are days when I crave for it, and stressing out by not having any is, in my opinion, unhealthy.

This is the recipe that solved my dilemma. The main ingredients are just a frozen banana and a bit of milk. Put them in the food processor and you'll have soft served banana ice cream in five minutes! This recipe is for two, but if you like to have it all to yourself, go for it. It's just a banana. How unhealthy could it be?
