All time sweet treat that does not required an ice cream maker. Our wonderful friend at Get Innergized with Renee has a quick and easy recipe for making banana ice cream at home and here’s the best part you don’t need a fancy ice cream maker. Renee likes to usually cut up a ton of bananas, place them in a freezer bag and then take out as much as I need for that recipe and go from there. Â Instead of making one entire batch, I like to make it fresh, each time. You can make a larger batch, refreeze, and then mix it up again, but I prefer to make it fresh.Â

2 frozen bananas
2 to 4 tablespoons of your favorite dairy (optional)
Toppings of your choice (handful of walnuts and chocolate chips were used in this recipe)
Directions

2. Place in your favorite serving bowl.
3. Turn off all distractions, sit down by yourself or with your family and/or friends, take a few deep breaths, say how much gratitude you have for your food, your family, your life and dig in, slowly and savor the deliciousness!

What’s your favorite summertime ice cream flavor?  I have to say, I love this one, but I’m a huge cookies and cream or anything peanut butter, chocolate and nuts related lover.
