Dairy Free Banana Ice Cream!
Do you know anyone who doesn't like ice cream? I sure haven't come across anyone but I do have friends and clients who cannot eat dairy so that could be a problem that can easily be solved. Just the kind of challenge Thriving With Health likes to figure out and resolve😊
Banana ice cream is simple, delicious and nourishing too. Yep ice cream that is healthy without any added ingredients that might be harmful. This ice cream is so super simple it can be categorized under TWH's favorite motto 'Keep It Super Simple' aka KISS. If a recipe has Thriving With Health's KISS of approval than that means this recipe is not only yummy but loves you back with nourishing ingredients, in this case one to start. Yes only one ingredient and maybe a little nut milk or water to thin when preparing.
The trick is to freeze your bananas that are very ripe but have not turned brown yet. If you use bananas that are not ripe or are too ripe and brown the flavor will be compromised. Simply cut the banana in round slices approximately one inch in diameter, store in a BPA free freezer zip lock baggie or an airtight container and store in the freezer until frozen.
Once the banana slices are frozen (about 2+ hours) put them into your food processor or blender and process/blend until it has reached a soft serve consistency while scraping the sides of the work bowl or blender. You can add a few drops of unsweetened almond or coconut milk to thin as needed. Ice cream is ready to serve soft serve style or you can put it back in the freezer for firmer ice cream.
Once you are ready to dig your spoon in, this is where the fun begins!
*Experiment adding a tablespoon or two of peanut, almond or cashew butter mixing it together with the banana ice cream and top with your favorite sprinkles.

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
