Made with only two ingredients, this Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream will be a huge hit with your family this summer! You can change it up a bit and substitute chocolate for the peanut butter or add another fresh fruit into the mix.
This recipe came across my computer last year, during the height of my weight loss journey. It’s all really quite simple:
You start with some chopped up frozen bananas….
….place them in a blender with 2 or 3 spoonfuls of peanut butter and blend, blend, blend. You must keep blending until everything is smooth and creamy. Also, remember to stop the blender every so often and push the mixture to the bottom with a mixing spoon so that everything will have an equal chance to blend in.
…and presto…
….you have your very own banana and peanut butter ice-cream….
It will look like soft serve once it’s finished. If that isn’t your thing, place the ice-cream in a container and freeze for a couple of hours until it hardens.
Eat it plain or top it with chocolate/Nutella:
It’s enjoyable either way! May your days be lighter and the pounds be shed 😉

Libby's Notes
If soft serve isn't your thing, feel free to place the ice cream in the freezer for a few hours until it hardens. The bananas usually take a day or two to completely freeze.
Not a big fan of peanut butter? Substitute it for chocolate syrup or another type of fresh fruit.
