Raw Ice cream...

Many people who are interested in making healthy choices in their diets have some difficulty leaving their beloved favorites...like burgers, cheese, creamy sauces, and many desserts. By the way, you can make any of those things in a healthy way, and especially in a raw way so you reap vital nutrients from your food.  Yes, even burgers!  But moving on....


Can you imagine a creamy dessert that's raw, flavorful, and simply divine?  This is it.  I promise you, it will knock your socks off (and your kids' socks off too).  You can add many things to it, fillings such as nuts, even cacao nibs, or hazelnut extract.  Or have it simply be - just one ingredient.

Peel 4 very ripe bananas (with brown spots), peeled.

Freeze them.  

That's it.

You can certainly slice the bananas and then freeze them if you want, but I like cutting through them when they're frozen - it's sort of a challenge I look forward to that makes this dessert worth waiting for.  It can't be too easy now....


Place said frozen bananas on a cutting board.  Slice them up.  Put them in a food processor.  Make it do its thing.  Scrape down sides.  Make it do its thing again.  Scrape down sides.  Continue in this fashion until it starts to get really creamy.  Then pick up a spoon and eat.

You can add raw almond butter (or if not raw, even organic peanut butter) and make a "chunky monkey" treat.  Or even add 1-2 tablespoons of raw cacao to make it a chocolatey thing.  Your call. Just sit back and enjoy.
