Healthy Ice-cream? Say what?

Hello everyone! Oh yes you read correctly, HEALTHY ICE-REAM! I learnt this awesome new way of treating yourself from my girl Cassey Ho from Blogilates way back, but I finally tried it and boy can I just say I am a walking disaster in the kitchen and if I managed this then anyone can! It is super simple and tastes luscious. 

I used a ripe banana,  you know when it has those ugly brown  splodges on the skin but once peeled the yummy soft sweet treat is revealed. It is best to use a ripe banana because it is sweeter and you will not even feel the need to reach for that evil sugar bowl. 

Here is a little trick to get rid of a banana bruise without chopping off half of it, simply scoop it out with a spoon! Who likes my Mickey mouse spoon? I love me some Disney! 

Now all you have to do is chop up the banana into little coins, you can chop it even smaller to make blending easier if you want and then just stick it into the freezer, I covered mine. Once frozen scoop it all into a blender and blend away until you have your smooth ice cream texture, I used a hand blender and got the same results, you may want to add a little milk or water here and there if yours gets stuck (almond milk, coconut milk or just regular semi skimmed milk). 

Since I have an unhealthy obsession for Nutella (anyone have the same problem?), I added just a teaspoon of it to my ice cream which was more than enough, it definitely settled my Nutella and ice cream cravings! Forgetful me forgot to add in the Nutella during the blending but i just mixed it in after and  still held it's wonderful taste. 

Finally tuck in! Savor this moment....mmm... 

My five year old sister LOVED it, she is an ice cream fanatic but this is a great way to give her what she wants the healthy way. 

What I find is better is if you blend all your ingredients first, then pop it into the freezer and then take it out and dig in, the texture is a lot more thick. Have a go and tell me how it went. 

Oh and a BIG GINORMOUS THANK YOU to Cassey Ho! 

Good luck
