Nice Cream

Happy August! It’s been a hot one so far and what is better on a hot day than ice cream! Today we have a healthier option so you can have more of it! Take a look at Nicole’s nice cream that she made not too long ago on one of our hot Summer days.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Nice Cream

6 bananas, chopped and frozen
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup peanut butter (I used natural, unsalted)
Salt
1/4 cup Milk of choice (optional, for consistency)

Slice the bananas and freeze at least overnight.

Place all ingredients into a high powered blender or a food processor and blend on high until smooth. In a high power blender like a Vitamix, you may not need the milk, but will probably need it in a food processor.

If you like soft serve, you can eat right away. Otherwise scoop it into a freezer safe container and put in the freezer to harden. Depending on how long you freeze it, you may want to leave it out for a few minutes so it’s easier to scoop.

Add your favourite toppings and enjoy!

Notes:
- Can easily substitute almond butter or any other nut or seed butter.
- You probably shouldn’t use a regular blender as blending the frozen banana can be really hard on the motor. If you don’t have a high power blender, use a food processor.
