Have you ever had those cravings for dessert when you're on a diet? I know I certainly have!
But for those of us who are trying to get fitter & healthier, giving in to our sweet tooth can be very detrimental to our progress. Well, what if I told you that you could make your own dessert, one that's completely sugar-free and super healthy?
Sounds too good to be true? I promise you it's true, and very very simple. In fact, all you need is one ingredient!
Bananas.
That's right, bananas. All you gotta do is peel & slice some ripe bananas, put them in an airtight container, and stash it in the freezer for at least 4 hours. You want to get them really frozen solid.
Whenever you're feeling a sweet craving, put the frozen banana into a blender, and blend until creamy.
Ta-daah! This wonderfully easy dessert tastes just like ice cream!
If the plain flavouring doesn't excite you, you can even add peanut butter, Nutella, vanilla bean, or fruit preserve, for interesting flavours. These additions would make the dessert a tiny bit less healthy, but it's still better than most store-bought ice creams.
Personally, I now keep a box of sliced banana in my freezer at all times, so I'm prepared for whenever a sweet craving strikes! :-D
Give this a try, and tell me what you think!
I saw your article the other day when it was published and bookmarked it in my recipe folder. Today I came back and find out that I have a question about the recipe. Maybe it's stupid but still...
What I want to ask you is following. - When putting the bananas into the blender do we need to add some water or milk or some other liquid (till now I never did it without), as I'm thinking would it blend properly otherwise or it might be too dry to blend as it should without any liquids?
Guess work in progress... 😉😊
Hi @ana-maria! You don't need to add any liquid or anything while blending. :) The bananas mush up on their own and turn super creamy. Hope you like it!
Thank you very much for answering my question. I was kinda scared to do it without any liquid. Didn't try it yet, but I certainly will as it's the great combo for my taste - banana & ice-cream! 😊
Lovely Dessert recipe!!!!
Im gonna try this!!!!! Never thought of doing this...
Oh you must, @numbnut68! It's delicious!
Is it just me, or is it that this seems a bit strenuous for the blender? I know you can wait for the bananas to thaw a bit but... who does that? No seriously - do you let them thaw a bit? Because like I said before... I always feel a bit bad for my blender and am hesitant to recommend this to people with potentially 'lesser' blenders lest they burn them out. What do you do? Because I think its pretty obvious, this little treat is here to stay 🤤
Hey @synrg! I know it sounds like it might be strenuous for the blender, but it honestly isn't. I think the bananas just mush up so quickly, it doesn't stress the blades at all. I've made this often, using a blender that's 5-years old (and shows her age!), and I haven't had any trouble. :)
