Peel the bananas and cut them into chunks before freezing.
When you want ice cream, dump a couple handfuls into a food processor and whiz until they turn into creamy goodness. You can amp it up with peanut butter and chocolate sauce.
What you need: 2 medium bananas, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks, 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, 1 cup skim or 2% milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup chocolate chips
How to: Freeze the bananas in a covered container for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Blend frozen bananas, peanut butter, milk, and vanilla in a blender until smooth. Add the chocolate chips at the end and pulse or blend briefly until they are chopped and incorporated.
Banana + Peanut Butter + Cacao Powder …..There’s essentially no smoothie on earth that doesn’t benefit from the addition of a ripe banana (freeze it first if you like it a little frosty).
