Mint Banana Ice Cream?

I have good news and bad news.

First off, the bad news: I don't have any pictures of Thanksgiving food, which consisted of baked sweet potatoes, baked acorn squash, a relish tray, raw cranberry sauce, and applesauce. It was delicious.

Now for the second piece of bad news: I won't be posting any more dessert recipes for a couple of weeks, as I am trying to clear out my system from excess sugar. I'm not sure how interesting I can make veggies and nuts, but I'll try!

And now for the good news: I have one more dessert recipe that I hadn't posted! With the last of my frozen naners, I decided to see how it would taste if I put my Amazing Grass superfoods in it. I threw a scoopful into the whipped bananas (no sweetener),

and it turned a disgusting lovely shade of green. I took a bite and...

Surprisingly, it tasted just like mint chip ice cream! I was amazed. The next time I'll add some cacao nibs or carob to make it really taste like mint chocolate chip ice cream; yum!

Stay tuned tomorrow for my improvisation of a lunch...

Finally; Banana Ice Cream...

Yay for another daily post! 


I just enjoyed some lovely cut up fruit and a green smoothie/sludge for lunch. Delicious! Oh, and I've found I have a "thing" for carob. I've been taking a tablespoon or so of carob and mixing it with a sprinkle of stevia and a splash of almond milk to a frosting-like consistency. It's probably an acquired taste, but I love it!


I realized I hadn't had banana ice cream since before the semester started, so I froze some naners and broke out the mini food processor. I really didn't expect it to work, but lo and behold, it did! I added a little carob and some agave for some extra sweetness, and it turned into this deliciousness:

In the mini food-processor; how cute!

What a spoonful of goodness right there...

Wonderful, right? Here's the super simple recipe.
