    Banana-Berry Ice Cream (no ice cream machine needed!)

    Published: Jun 11, 2012 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Contributed by Matthew from Vegan Heartland: I know recipes like this one have been floating around the Vegan blogosphere for a while now, but the first time I heard of "healthy ice cream" was when Dr. Oz dedicated half of his show to the movie Forks Over Knives I thought it was a really great idea and a nice alternative to ice creams that are loaded with refined sugars. I was actually afraid to even call this a recipe since it really takes little effort to make and you really could use any fruit you'd like. I just happened to have frozen strawberries on hand. I can't wait to try this with other flavors! If you're looking for a sweet and healthy dessert, this is definitely it! 

    Serves: 2

    • 2 bananas, sliced and frozen overnight or several hours
    • Pinch of cinnamon
    • ½ to 1 cup of your favorite berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.),
      also frozen if you'd like
    • Shredded coconut for topping, optional

    Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until well combined and creamy. Must be eaten right away or the bananas become mushy and more "banana texture" like. Or, you can refreeze for a few minutes before eating.

      I tried to make this tonight and it just made frozen slush. I added a few dollops of coconut cream and it was perfect! Creamy, lightly sweet, and delicious.
