I found a healthy ice cream recipe! perfect for kids

[UniqueAndAmazing]

banana ice cream

and several variations.

it's just banana! nothing else, no sugar, no cream, no crap.

kids can have yummy icecream and it's just fruit

I just give my kids ice cream occasionally . I don't see the point in healthy versions of treat food, it just creates an odd relationship with food imo. Far better have a good relationship with food and an understanding that foods like ice cream etc are not to be eaten every day but are fine sometimes as part of a healthy diet.

Plus I hate bananas .

Sounds interesting, just realised I don't have a blender!

You can also make healthy 'ice-cream' lollies by mixing full fat yoghurt, some crushed berries (blueberries or raspberries are good) and a bit of honey, and then freezing in lolly moulds.

But I agree with Indith, the occasional 'proper' ice-cream is good too- my DD likes clotted cream strawberry...

My DD1 is allergic to dairy so this is fab! Thanks unique

indith I see what you mean, but I like to gave ice cream in the evening and it seems mean to say to dd "you can't have it"

I hate bananas too
anyway, the reason I posted it/looked for it in the first place is that we've cut out dairy for dd's eczema :) (glad it was useful to you too angielka :) )

witch you could wait for it to soften a bit and gammer it to death.

My dcs love eating this with a bit of full fat yoghurt or double cream for breakfast, we often add other frozen fruits and cinnamon.

thanks for the recipe I will try this

Brilliant thanks! My DS also allergic to dairy so will try this tomorrow!

I've frozen the bananas so will whizz and test tomorrow.
it had better be nice!

I have tried this and it is surprisingly nice - much better than I had expected it would be. I always keep some chopped bananas in the freezer now ready for an instant dessert.

ooh, good, glad you've got a positive review :)

Thanks for this link unique, just tried it and it was really lovely. I added a small spoonful of green and blacks cocoa powder and we all really enjoyed it!

yeay!

It also works really well with 30ml almond milk and 1/2 tbsp maple syrup per banana added at the blending stage.

Frozen strawberries and coconut milk is another good one.

A great idea and a good way to use up ripe bananas. Thanks, unique!

Will try the added cocoa idea...nice!

I have a dairy free DD too, this will be fab, thanks!

mmmm sounds gorgeous - I'm going to try this!

unique had to post again and say I've finally tried it, and it's bloody gorgeous added some mango so a bit sweeter and it tastes just like icecream! Thanks again.

oh thank god it's nice!

i haven't even had the guts to give it a go yet (although we'll be going to the strawberry place soon, so I might give it a go with strawberries)
