Avocado Banana "Ice Cream"

 

 

I've been looking for some more healthful dessert ideas other than the various cookies and muffins I usually make.  Krestan loves ice cream and I hate for him to be eating the commercially made stuff with all the additives.  I saw this recipe and thought it looked like a keeper.

Here's what I did...

I put one (very) ripe avocado into my Vitamix

 

 I absolutely love this handy dandy avocado-scooping tool :-)

 

 Then I added 1 chopped, frozen banana

 

 I added a tsp. of vanilla extract

 

 Then I added 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/4 cup maple syrup

 

 Finally, I added 1 cup of ice and blended on high for about a minute

 

Until four peaks appeared on the surface.  Mmmm! :-)
