Blueberry-Banana “Ice Cream”

If you’re like me, ice cream is something that you can eat, regardless of the time of day or weather. And even though fall is now upon us, I don’t think that the chilly temperatures will diminish my desire for ice cream. Ice cream isn’t the healthiest food in the world though, so I’ve been trying not to eat as much of it. Imagine my delight when I discovered a recipe for a nutritious and healthy “ice cream!” There’s no added sugar, none of those long unpronounceable preservatives that they add to most processed food, and no artificial colors or flavors. It’s all natural, super easy, and there are only three ingredients. Can you believe it? And to top it all off, it tastes delicious. Honestly, there’s no down side to it. You can eat it as a mid-afternoon snack or dessert after dinner, but truthfully, it’s healthy enough that you could eat it for breakfast! The recipe is below. Bon appetit!
