Healthy 3-Ingredient Ice Cream

By Annett Davis on Thursday, March 6, 2014

Being a virtual health and fitness coach I usually don’t recommend eating ice cream to my clients. But, it’s one of those things that usually are at the top of their list of indulgences.

So what’s a coach to do?

Give them what they want!

I believe in not giving up the things we love, but instead figuring out healthier ways to enjoy them.

When I have a client who just “can’t live without ice cream”, this is the recipe I give them.

Oh and if you can’t have diary you’re in luck! It’s dairy free. :)

3-Ingredient Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • Ripe Banana
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups ice

In a very good blender (like a Blentec or Vitamix) put all of the ingredients inside. Blend on the ice cream setting or blend until you have the texture of ice cream. 

(If you’d like to level out your blood sugar level you can sprinkle a few sliced almonds on top). Sometimes I add strawberries or blueberries to it as well. Enjoy!

    I never made this with ice, but used frozen bananas instead. I like the idea of needing fewer bananas and more ice, and making a “lighter” dessert. I would sometimes add a bit of real maple syrup and a few walnuts, too, for a taste surprisingly similar to maple walnut ice cream!
