Vegan 'Ice Cream' Recipe

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3e7CCKrevo?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0&w=500&h=375]

This is a healthier version of ice cream, using frozen bananas! This is such a delicious and healthy recipe that is truly worth trying out. :)

Ingredients: (for two servings)

2 bananas

1 tsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, it’s up to you)

about 1/4 cup of milk (almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, coconut milk- what ever you like!) - just add enough milk to help the bananas blend, you probably don’t even need milk if you have a strong enough blender.

*The consistency is the best when the bananas are completely frozen.

*Feel free to leave out the peanut butter if you don’t like it.

Remember, you’re not eating ice cream, you’re eating fruit! This is a dessert to feel good about!

Today’s lunch: Quesadilla and soup! 

You can really top your quesadilla with what ever you want. I used what I had in my kitchen.

-Tortilla

-A couple tablespoons of Refried beans (I used canned)

-Half an onion

-Corn (I used frozen corn)

-Salsa (can go on it or on the side if it’s runnier)

-Vegan cheese (I used Daiya cheddar)

You can also put in more ingredients like green peppers, green onions, tomatoes, black beans, and jalapenos.

I had a bowl of tomato basil soup on the side.
