Clean Eating Coconut Banana Ice Cream

Clean Eating Banana Ice cream

Oh dear.

Can you forgive me for doing two dessert posts so close together? I really do apologize.

Yes, I recently did a post on Chocolate Banana Ice Cream. But the number of bananas that ended up in my shopping basket this week was kind of prolific, and I just couldn’t pass up the chance to experiment with the Banana Ice Cream recipe again.

So here is my latest version of clean eating ice cream. I swear to you, if you like coconut, this recipe is even better than the  Chocolate Banana Ice Cream recipe. I swear!

Clean Eating Coconut Banana Ice Cream
(Makes approximately 8 servings – 1/2 cup each)

Ingredients
5 large bananas
1 can light coconut milk (15 oz. or close to it.)

Directions

Step 1 – Slice your bananas and place them in the freezer over night.

Step 2 – Place frozen bananas and coconut milk in a food processor. Blend until smooth. This will take a while, and probably a few pokes with a spatula (please turn the processor OFF before proceeding with the poking… thank you.)

Note: Remember, this is an Eat-And-Serve dish. Do not put this ice cream in the freezer once it’s been made. You won’t like the results.

Eat and Enjoy!

Munchkin Helpers:

If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).

Let your kids put everything in the processor, and then let them turn it on once the lid is secure. They love watching the processor go!

    Coconut is definitely one of my favorites. I have to give this a try.

    Hi Aaron,

    Let me know what you think!

    Mmmm, I think I’ll try this with a scoop of protein powder. Sounds soo yummy!

    Richelle – I thought about it, but chickened out. Let me know how it is and maybe I’ll try it too.

    This is a long-time favorite in my family. (Well, since about 1990!) It’s even better when you make it “Pina Colada” by adding some pineapple, or frozen pineapple juice.

    Cinder – Oh yum! Thanks!

  • Wendy

    Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!!! I just tried this yesterday, and was TOTALLY SATISFIED!!! :) My almost-3-year old wanted to try it, but he didn’t like the smell! He tasted it — said he liked it, but he just couldn’t get over the smell. Goofy boy …. he’s missing out! ;)

    Wendy – How funny! I don’t think I’ve ever taken the time to smell it! LOL. Glad you enjoyed it though ;)

    Absolutely sensational!!! I can’t get enough! Last night I raced home from dancing to make some so my husband could try it!….I like the pina colada comment, I have thought about using frozen pineapple…as well as every other combination running through my head that I can’t wait to make….haha…bummer that it is getting cold here and not really ice cream weather. Looking forward to summer and making the mango, banana pecan one. Tiffany this is seriously the best dessert recipe EVER – a perfect substitute…I don’t even want ice cream anymore! :)

    Natasha – Fabulous!!! I love it too. It’s tough to top!

    You say not to freeze it. But if you do have leftovers and freeze it just add a milk of your choice and blend. It makes a great shake!

    Carebear – Yes!! That’s always a yummy option, thanks!
