I have been missing in action lately I know! Sorry about that. Mostly this is due to my diet changing to a very simple one rather than gourmet. I am eating a lot of salads and fruit smoothies, yum! My Internet has also been down all week and i just now up again! It is crazy how much you miss the Internet when you don't have it. I have been enjoying freezing my bananas lately and using them in smoothies and ice cream. Today I made this chocolate banana ice cream for mid breakfast. It is tasty for sure! I finished my 60 day raw food challenge and overall it went well. I did not stay on it 100% the entire time but I did for the most part. This week I am going to concentrate on having my green juices and lots of fruit smoothies!
This past Sunday I started running five miles every day and I did that four days in a row this week. I took a break today because it is rainy outside but will begin again tomorrow. That isn't something I have been able to do or wanted to do in a long time so that is a good sign. For the summer months I have a few fun trips planned, I am going up to the North Carolina Mountains over Memorial Day, going to to Rock Hill NC to visit family for a few days mid June and then I have my Montreal trip for two weeks in July ( I am really looking forward to that trip!). I hope you all have a great day and enjoy this cool ice cream for the hot summer months to come!

Kelli,
Hope you get a chance to try it :-).
Simple and delicious! My kind of recipe! :) ENJOY@
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. I will have to try this on the side of a raw brownie next weekend. I'm going raw for the next 60 days in hopes of losing a little weight and just being healthy. Man I have to get some of that ice cream. Ice Cream is the hardest thing for me to give up.
ReplyDeleteLauren,
ReplyDeleteI agree, I love simplicity :-).
Lady Q,
Good luck with going raw. It is great for losing unwanted pounds, just stick with mostly fruits and veggies rather than gourmet and you'll be set :-).
Ice cream, yum. Especially for breakfast on a warm day :)
ReplyDeletechoco banana ice cream ... oh. yeah.
ReplyDeleteNikki,
ReplyDeleteyummy breakfast :-).
Lisa,
yes so delicious :-).
I've seen some ice cream recipes that use cashews. Do you need the nuts if you want to make strawberry icecream or something other than chocolate?
ReplyDeleteYumm, im always a banana ice cream fan! :)
ReplyDeleteLady Q,
ReplyDeleteMy strawberry ice cream post is a few down from this one. I just use strawberries and bananas no nuts. You can use nuts but I am trying to avoid too many so bananas are perfect for me.
Heather,
Yes, I am always a fan! Your ice cream cakes look amazing!
Thanks. That is great because I didnt want to use nuts. :)
ReplyDeleteI have missed your posts - glad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteThe second I finish typing I'm off to make that ice cream!!

Raw Food Mama,
Thanks and yay for ice cream! Enjoy it!
An update - so it was 90 degrees here yesterday - perfect for banana chocolate ice cream. I followed your very simple recipe and made some. I sprinkled the top with cacao nibs.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loved it. My kids loved it. I loved it. Delicious! I can't wait to serve it to my non-raw eating family when they come to visit next week.
That sounds great! Thanks for sharin this with me :-). Is that the first time you have made it?
