Are you dairy-free, but miss the smooth refreshing of ice cream. Try banana ice cream - it’s delicious and requires only one primary ingredient! This NICE cream is nutritious and highly-customizable - add your favorite flavorings and toppings to make it your own.
Peel and chop bananas into pieces and freeze them overnight (or 2 hours in a pinch) in an airtight container or freezer bag. When you blend the bananas, they’ll go through stages - crumbly, gooey, piece-y, and then finally smooth and creamy. Keep the faith!
Here are a few flavorings and toppings to consider:
- Peanut butter
- Chocolate syrup
- Cacao nibs
- Vanilla extract
This ice cream will last for up to 3 months in your freezer in an airtight container.
The whole process takes about 15 minutes from start to finish.

Like other plant milks, banana milk is a delicious alternative to dairy milk. It’s sweet and creamy, nutrient-rich, and inexpensive. It takes only five ingredients - all fruit and water. So if you’re also nut-free, you want to know this recipe. This is an excellent way to get more fruit into your diet. And customize it with flavorings like vanilla extract or cinnamon.
If you’re looking to optimize the flavor or give it a twist, you can use plant milk to make your banana milk.
So how do you use banana milk? You can use it in baking, vegan hot chocolate, or in your oatmeal for breakfast.
Prep Time: 5 mins. This recipe makes 1 - 2 servings. Serve it cold, immediately after blending. It can last up to 3 days in an airtight container in your fridge. Shake well before you serve it.

How about making your own kind of snack bar? This starchy bar will give you energy and sweet, fruity nutrition in just a few bites. Breakfast never tasted this good. Once you get the hang of making these, you can begin adding new tastes and textures to make them your own.
Prep Time: 60 mins. This recipe will make 12 bars.
Mango Banana Ice Cream

With only one more ingredient than the banana ice cream, this is another easy-to-make but extraordinarily tasting frozen treat. And with the optional addition of one other little ingredient - cardamom or paprika, you’ll have Mexican-style ice cream on your hands. Like bananas, frozen mango chunks make for remarkably smooth and tasty ice cream.
If using fresh mango, peel and cut in chunks just like what you do with the bananas. But mangos require a longer freezing time - 6 hours or overnight.
Before you process, let your frozen fruit sit for a bit to soften - your blender or food processor will thank you. If your appliance is still having a tough time, add a little plant milk. Then continue processing until it’s smooth and creamy. Serve it immediately or freeze in an airtight container for later.
Prep Time: 15 mins. This recipe makes 6 cups of ice cream.
