DIY Banana Ice Cream

Hello! Today we're making a DIY healthier version of ice cream made out of bananas. I chose to make a coffee flavored version. For this, you will need:
  • 2 frozen bananas
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons of coffee grounds
  • 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon

First, blend the bananas until smooth in a blender or food processor. 


Next, add the coffee, salt, and cinnamon. 


Mix well, and you're done! This is how mine turned out:


This DIY was so easy to make. I like how the banana taste isn't too overpowering, and that you can add any flavor you want to this ice cream. I hope you try this out!

Until next week,
