Strawberry Banana “Nicecream”

Summer means dresses, BBQs, the beach, bike riding, and of course…ice cream! I personally love ice cream (and yummy sweets of all kinds), so I try to make good choices so I can enjoy them without feeling overly guilty. 

While in Amsterdam, Dan (the hubby) and I found a place with the BEST strawberry milkshake ever (see image above)! We did indulge, but now that I’m home I’m trying to feel bikini ready and need to hit the reset button on my food intake! Ha! 

If you want a MUCH healthier sweet treat, try this Strawberry Banana “Nicecream” – all the yumminess and a lot less guilt! Keep scrolling for recipe! xo

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Coconut or Almond Milk (more if needed based on consistency)
  • 2 1/2 Cups Organic Strawberries (sliced is best – look in grocery store freezer section)
  • 3 Frozen Bananas (Peel, slice and freeze 3 bananas prior to making this recipe)
  • 2 tbs Coconut Nectar, agave or maple syrup (for desired sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Put the coconut milk, fruit and then sweetener of choice into the blender. You can also choose to skip adding the sweetener until the end so you can slowly add in your desired amount based on taste.
  2.  Blend the ingredients on medium/high until smooth. You may need to stop the blender and mix with a spoon a couple of times to ensure the frozen banana and strawberry pieces don’t get stuck. You can add a little more coconut milk if it is too thick and isn’t blending into a smooth consistency. If you do add more, start with a tablespoon of liquid at a time so you don’t add too much right off the bat.
  3.  Eat and enjoy! Yay! Save leftovers in an airtight tupperware container and store in freezer for later…although you may not have any left to store due to yuminess… 🙂
