Moving
not just to a new house but a new state put a pretty large amount of
strain on all of us. Our first week in our new home, we decided to take a
walk down to the locally owned ice cream shop. It was a short walk from
our house and we all were in need of a little cheer. Since then, we
have gone there for ice cream every Wednesday. Granted its only been 2
months, but its a new tradition that we all love!
I
however, started to feel a little guilty giving Lauryn ice cream every
week. I know, it really isnt a big deal, but ice cream should be a
treat. So I started looking for alternatives. She would never know the
difference anyway. And that is how I stumbled upon this delicious and
nutritious recipe! Oh and did I mention its just ONE ingredient?!
Thats it. Bananas. Yes, Im serious.
Just slice them up and stick them in the freezer for 2 hours. Then stick them in the blender and let them go until smooth. I did add a tiny splash of milk, but it was totally unnecessary.
I sprinkled Lauryns with some fresh blackberries and strawberries! I mixed a spoonful of peanut butter and a little cocoa powder into hubby and I's.
And as you can see, she didnt even care that it wasnt "real" ice cream. She gobbled it up. And I had absolutely zero feelings of mommy guilt over this Wednesday Ice Cream Day!
I kid you not, it tastes just like ice cream. Its creamy and rich. Absolutely delicious.
