Simple banana icecream trick

[yeknomyeknom]

Just learnt this fab trick for super healthy ice cream that really works.

Get some ripe bananas and slice them on to a baking tray and freeze. Then take the frozen banana slices and blitz for a few mins in a blender. This makes a delicious icy banana mush. For icecream, just pop mush back in the freezer for an hour.

If you want you can add some Greek yoghurt or a swirl of Nutella.

A great cooling treat for the little ones.

Ooh, also made some coconut butter. Buy organic coconut flakes from SMBS and blend for ten mins. It passes through lots of stages so yes, has to be 10mins. Scrape down the sides occasionally. Stores for months in a jam jar or similar. Doesn't need to be refrigerated either (goes hard in fridge).

Can be used on skin to moisturise, in currys to add creaminess or puddings.

I use it instead of butter on my little ones toast so he gets lots of good fat and less of the bad stuff.

I just mash a banana, mix with a bit of yogurt (or a dash of milk if I have run out) then put in a calippo style silicone ice lolly mould and freeze. Approximately half a banana fills one mould, so half a banana for the kids desert:-)
