Tastes just like milk-chocolate ice cream.
Who doesn’t love chocolate ice cream? And this plant-based vegan ice cream is actually good for you too! It’s an easy-to-make recipe that only requires a freezer, a blender, and three ingredients: bananas, cocoa powder, and a plant-based milk of your choice.
We prefer to blend with a Vitamix because it is high-powered to cut through ice, and it has a tamper, which is needed to push down the frozen ingredients into the blender. It can be done with any blender that can handle ice, but you would need to stop the machine to push down the ingredients several times.
This chocolate banana ice cream is a household favorite, and you’ll love it too. And with only 118 calories per serving (the size of a banana), you can feel good about it too!
