Dairy free banana ice-cream Recipe

We all have ripened bananas sitting on the kitchen counter screaming- use me- and many are guilty of just throwing them away. DON'T simply peel, wrap and freeze them individually. I use them for muffins, cakes, banana bread, smoothie bowls and for quick healthy, dairy-free and natural ice cream.

The texture of this soft ice cream is smooth, velvety and fluffy. It is a fantastic dessert to serve to last-minute guests or when hosting a dinner party and, the best thing about this is you can have it anytime you fancy. It is a perfect addition to your healthy lifestyle diet and serves as an excellent alternative to ice cream especially among diabetic when they can't resist the urge for ice cream. Beware, although it is all-natural fruit, ripened bananas are relatively high in sugars.

Everything in moderation is key to a healthy body and mind.
