Banana Faux Ice Cream

You can officially crush that sugar craving with something healthy!  Better yet, all you need is a blender (no ice cream machines here).   We're having this banana sunday every day of the week.  It is unbelievably delicious and we can't believe how well it turned out.  Plus there's no artificial sugar added (only maple syrup) and the pistachios add a delightful crunch! 

Ingredients

serves 2

• 3 frozen bananas

• 1/3 cup of pistachios

• 4 tbsp of cocao powder 

• 2 tbsp of coconut oil

• 1 tbsp of maple syrup

Directions

Roast the pistachios until golden brown

Chop the pistachios.

Combine cocoa powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup in a pot. 

On low heat slowly mix ingredients together and bring to a boil. Then keep it warm until your banana ice cream is ready. 

Place 3 frozen bananas (halved) into a strong blender. 

Mix until it has an ice cream like texture.  Then place it in scoops into a bowl or glass. 

Finally, poor the hot chocolate sauce onto each sunday and watch it magically harden.  Next sprinkle the chopped pistachios over it and enjoy!!! 

We absolutely adore this low calorie ice cream and can't wait to start experimenting with flavors like banana peanut butter or nutella!  Stay tuned!
