Ice Cream for Breakfast

Today I'm going to show you how to make a healthy and nutritious breakfast that the whole family can enjoy.  We're gonna make ICE CREAM!!!  Yep, that's right, you heard me.  With ice cream this good for ya, you can have it for any meal of the day.

You're gonna have to plan ahead a little bit on this one.  It all starts with bananas.  I think we have all had, at one time or another, some overly ripe bananas laying around.  You just peel 'em, break 'em, toss 'em in a container, and freeze 'em.

Then you break out your trusty Ninja, or a food processor. 

Frozen bananas are also great for smoothies.  That's why we're missing a few here.

Just toss your frozen bananas into your ninja or food processor and start pulsing.

Pulse, pulse, and pulse some more.

Sneak a peak.  Good things are starting to happen in there.  Go ahead and scrape down the sides while you have the lid off.

You don't have to pulse any more.  You can just blend.

Mmmm.  Creamy.  Dreamy.  Smooth.

It's pretty much the exact consistency of soft serve ice cream.  And that's JUST BANANAS in there.  No cream, no milk, no yogurt.

Now, you can just stop right here.  Grab a spoon and start digging in (Belle and I did).  Banana ice cream is delicious by itself or with something sprinkled on top, like crushed nuts or granola.

We decided to take it up another notch after a few yummy spoonfuls, so I tossed in a handful of frozen mango chunks.  And pulsed and blended and all that crazy stuff.

Now we have banana-mango ice cream.

Apparently, Belle was tired of waiting.  She went and got her own spoon and bowl and helped herself!
