Cocoa Banana Ice Cream

I was craving ice cream the other day, but was really trying to cut down the sugar intake. So I decided to make my own clean ice cream. It was pretty good. Still figuring out different things I can put in it. Stay tuned for other clean ice cream treats!
Wish I knew about “clean” ice cream when I was pregnant with my first child. I was having ice cream every other day! It was bad =P  Now, I’ll be eating “clean” ice cream more often =).

Makes about 3 cups

Ingredients:

• 3 medium bananas
• 1 avocado (optional)
• 1/2 cup milk (your choice)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons honey
• Topping: shredded coconut, chopped macadamia nuts, and cocoa nibs (you can any toppings you want…have fun with it!) =)

Instructions:

1. Take some of your frozen ripe bananas from the freezer. If you don’t have any, freeze ripe bananas the day before or you can try freezing for a few hours before making this recipe.
2. You can even but the banana into slices before freezing so it runs a little easier in your blender.
3. Put all ingredients in your blender (we use a Vitamix because of it’s high power setting).
4. Make sure you have something to poke/mix it around while blending. Sometimes some slices get stuck in there.
5. Mix well and place toppings and serve… that’s it!
6. ENJOY and be HAPPY! =D 

NOTE: This is something you don’t re-freeze. Must serve after making. If you freeze it again, it changes the taste of everything.
