totally gonna try that!  Thanks so much <3

Totally make this almost every night, but I add spinach and flax seed meal for some extra nutrition and fiber.  If you wait until the bananas get little brown spots on them before you freeze, it makes for an even sweeter ice cream.  I promise, you can’t taste the spinach, like at all. Add a little soy milk, and you have a smoothie.

Add a tbsp or two of pure cocoa powder, and you’ve got chocolate yumminess! I’ve been thinking about PB icecream, so it’s amazing that you posted this!

I make this all the time for my girls.  So yummy.  I add unsweetened cocoa and almond milk too. PB and chocolate = perfection!! 

lol The “finger picture” part cracked me up!! :D
p.s. thank you for sharing the recipe! ^_____^
now every time I cook I tend to I add a protein powder to it (well..mostly the sweet stuff)  tehe :)

Thank you for the new ideas guys – why didn’t I think of cocoa powder and coconut milk before? It’s just so obvious! :) I think that shreded dark chocolate would be great in it as well and shredded coconut.

OMG….I LUV Peanut Butter!  I’m not big on ice cream but what a healthy treat!  I gotta give this a try!

sounds delish.. when I made it I just used the banana and mini choc chips… it was yummy.. I love that it is so versatile you can pretty much do anything you want.. the protein powder is a great addition.. why didn’t I think of that!

i make something along these lines when im craving something sweet at night…
i spoon into a bowl some plain or vanilla greek yogurt and add a tablespoon of peanut butter. then i’ll crumble a graham cracker on top and maybe throw in a few dark chocolate chips and mix it all together.
totally takes care of my sweet tooth :)

I do the same thing (well, with my smoothies, I haven’t made this yet.) I think the spinach oxidizes quicker and thus turns brown faster (think of it like an apple you eat slowly.)

This sounds amazing! I love peanut butter!!!

hey everybody,
any suggestions how to substitute the peanutbutter? I really really don’t like it (quite sure I’m the only one ;))
thanks in advance :)

oh my, I have to go to store to buy some bananas NOW so they are ready at night :D

This is like my dream ice cream come true.  Going to try it this weekend! 

Hi

Not sure where you live but there’s almond butter – comes in chunky style too and many people make Almond butter now because of the prevalence of peanut allergy.There”s cashew butter, (not cheap) no-nut peanut butters which are made with some sort of pea – I haven’t tried it but it sounds revolting to me ;-)

Because it’s only two tablespoons would it be so bad to use Nutella? or a tablespoon of Nutella and one of nut butter? Yes I’m a terrible sinner for suggesting Nutella – I actually find it too sweet, but mixed in with all the other stuff it might be okay?

ooohh yummy cocoa powder! that sounds great!

Great idea, but I don’t think that I’m going to buy a full bottle of Nutella (too tempting ;))
I’m thinking about using a bit of dark chocolate and grind it.

I just made this and it was DE-LI-CI-OUS!!! I changed the ingredients a little bit:

1 1/2 frozen banana
1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder (it´s a big scoop)
1/2 cup of 2% milk (I don´t mind using cow´s milk :D )
1 tbsp of 100% chunky almond butter (no oils, no preservatives, 100% organic)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 packet of stevia (I got a really really sweet tooth, but you can skip the stevia)

We divided the whole thing into 2 portions, each with 241 calories (I didn´t know until I was eating it).  It´s not light, but the amount of calories is ok for a snack.

Next time I´ll try to reduce the calories by substituting the whey protein for unsweetened cocoa powder and maybe reduce the amount of milk.

Anyways…it tasted amazing!!!  White-eye treat!! (the kind of food that makes you roll your eyes ;)

Hey Zuzana! I’m curious whether you’ve replaced one entire meal with this delicious ice-cream or it is just a dessert after one of your meals. You’ve talked a lot about portions but sometimes I still get lost as a handfull of something can vary very much if you pick it or I do, though I like this method where you don’t go crazy about calories.
You have some old videos preparing different salads and you said you followed the clean diet… I wash shocked how little your portions were!! just thinking that because you have big muscles therefoe more calories to burn. This is why I get lost with portions.

Nice recipe!!! Thank you guys for everything.

I send you much love!

mmmmmmmmmh, yummy!!! thanks zuzka for sharing this recipe.
I´ll try this tomorrow :)))
another suggestion: maybe some nuts (f.e. almonds) would be great, too

i just mix it with a spoon, still comes to a nice creamy, almost fluffy texture :)

 coconut milk ice cream is amazing.  When we were vegan we would use sugar and the real coconut milk (not light or boxed… the canned stuff) and put it in our ice cream maker… AMAZING! But coconut milk and this banana treat would be amazing too, too bad I don’t have any in my house right now!

I just wish bananas weren’t so bloody expensive here in Australia:-/ But it’s my bday in over a month so I’ll make this super delicious looking thing my bday treat…yay, bring it on end of October:-))

Love this! Thanks Zuzana! I can’t wait to try it. :)
 

What about almond butter? It’s a better protein source and I have an entire jar of it in my pantry and no peanut butter to speak of. 

hey everyone, fun fact about cinnamon. When you are craving sweets, or sugar treats, sprinkling cinnamon over yogurt, or something like this recipe Zuzana shared with us actually tricks the brain into thinking its eating sweets. When we crave sugary sweets such as i.e: a donut, there is a chemical hormone that is sent from our brain making us actually crave the sweets. The fun fact about Cinnamon is it actually curbs that chemical hormone and makes you feel satisfied as if you actually ate the donut.Cinnamon is a great tasting spice but also an amazing magician. when i first started bodyrocking in 2010 and craved chocolate, or cakes, i used to take a little bit of plain yogurt, half and apple and dice it and then sprinkle a little cinnamon. It worked wonders….. 

Love this!  Four ingredients!  Just the way I like it.  Defin. trying this soon.

Maybe I tried the wrong peanut butter but it is somehow too sweet and my teeth are bond together like I’m eating glue :D
But reading all your comments about loving peanut butter makes me quite happy I’m not adicted to it :D

Yes! I tried something like this earlier in the week, sans peanut butter. I’ve been loving the frozen banana ice cream ever since she posted it, but a few nights ago I decided to experiment and tossed in some protein powder. I was amazed at how much more ice cream-like it made it. Thanks for this recipe!

I tried the banana ice-cream, too. I just had to blend it with a fork, which is really hard – like a “2 minute rock your arms” workout *hahaha*. I mixed my banana with some milk and one spoon of cherry jam. Loooooove cherry+banana in all ways!

I just need to go get the vanilla extract then Im making this! It looks amazing :)

Yes, my affair analogy: Treat those cheat foods or foods you’re likely to over eat like an affair, okay to have a bit outside but never bring them home or there’ll be trouble”

If you want a somewhat healthy chocolate indulgence, you can melt two squares of good dark chocolate, then add in a few tablespoons of ricotta cheese and stir it up. Tastes like the best chocolate pudding you’ve ever had.

Thanks for reposting this, Z.  Since the July post, it’s been a staple for my husband and I, and we tell people about the “recipe” all the time.  I haven’t tried it with vanilla, yum!  I make this ahead and freeze it, it’s more like ice, but it’s a better option when I can’t resist snacking.

top it with nutmeg instead of cinnamon and sprinkled some chopped walnuts for some great omega 3.

Ok, just made this. Delicious, but my blender DID NOT like this! I was turning it on and off to prevent it from overheating, but it still started smoking…yikes! Very good recipe though…

Coconuts, dark chocolate, peanuts and vanilla…yum yum yum…..Almonds too, one of my favs as I love marzipan so almonds it  is!!  I am that Bodyrocker with the sweetest tooth so desserts and esp cakes are a somewhat of a challenge for me! his is a great option for me. Thanks Zuzana!

I do well throughout the week and stay away from all of those wicked foods(kinda) and allow myself some ‘down time’ at the weekend, esp out with friends/family.(Plus I rarely drink alcohol) It personally isnt good for my mental health to be constantly worrying about what I eat and when. So as long as I know I’m at least 80-90% healthy I dont fret. Plus I feel much better for it.
Im off to buy some bananas, looking forward to this mid week, I can not wait 5 days!! So yummy and definately not naughty enough to be in the weekend category!

I am loving all these sweet craving ideas thanks everyone!

xx

It was delicious, i was missing to have ice cream, it s the best one and naturel…

This recipe is actually really awesome!  I made it yesterday with chocolate protein powder and it was heavenly!  

I just did this recipe and I like it!  I have put about half a table spoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips in it.  

LOVE IT!

Mmmm Yummy!  I made mine with a double rich chocolate protein powder and it was rich and sinful without the guilt of actual high calorie ice cream.  Since I don’t buy or eat ice cream at home anymore due to lactose intolerance this will be my new go to treat.  Thanks!

I will have to try this.. I LOVE Chunkey Monkey.. but hardly ever eat it!

Yummy, Im going to try strawberries next time!

Okay, just wanted to say that I made this again tonight–this time one frozen banana, a scoop of protein powder and a scoop of cocoa powder, and WOW.  Chocolate delicious ice cream!  So delicious!

ok, i just made this. I can’t believe how good it is. I put honey in it because I thought it would need some extra sweetner, it doesn’t need it at all but it’s deliciously sweet now.

Hello, when you are making banana ice cream you need to bled the banana until the ice cream becomes fluffy (the ice cream increases its volume). I do my ice cream in an exactly same blender. They get fluffy after a while, so you need to blend them with patience, you will see for yourself. I never added any ingredients apart from some orange juice (fresh).

so good! I didnt want to wait for things to freeze so I made it into a shake type thing. It was delicious! Thanks for the idea!
