Hello there! Today I am sharing a healthy version of ice cream. This velvety Cherry Banana Ice Cream is made with just two ingredients. Add some organic coconut flakes and cacao nibs for a bit of crunch and you have a clean eating, all natural, healthy dessert. You can eat as much as you like and feel guilt free.
Recently I started my second round of Whole 30. I did my first last May and I definitely feel better prepared this time. One of the best things to do is prepare your meals or have a meal plan in place. This way you are not trying to figure out what to cook. I know you are not supposed to have “ice cream” on Whole 30. But let’s face it, if I don’t have some type of ice cream, things can get real ugly.
I was scrolling through my Instagram feed one day and came across Kristy from Sweet Treats & More‘s picture. She is a sweetheart and her recipes are amazing. It was a recipe for Cherry Yonana Ice Cream with Chocolate Magic Shell. I have been making banana ice cream for awhile. I typically make strawberry banana. Well, Kristy’s recipe gave me an idea. I can’t have the magic shell on Whole 30, so I added some organic coconut flakes and cacao nibs on top. Y’all, this recipe is amazing! I LOVE the cherry flavor.
Ingredients:
2 ripe, frozen bananas – I cut the bananas in 1 inch pieces and put them in a ziploc bag for a couple of hours.
1 cup frozen cherries
Topping:
Organic coconut flakes – unsweetened
Raw organic cacao nibs
Instructions:
1. Place frozen bananas and frozen cherries in a heavy duty blender or food processor. I used a food processor. Press the button and let blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Garnish with coconut flakes and cacao nibs for a delicious crunch.
Eat right away or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
That’s it!
