[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Classic

  1. You can’t go wrong with the basics! Freeze 1 banana for around 2 hours, then chop it up into pieces. Blend the pieces until the banana looks gooey and smooth. You might have to scrape down your blender a few times, so keep an eye on it![1]

    • After that, simply pour your banana ice cream into a bowl and dig in.

[Edit]Peanut butter

  1. Add a shot of healthy protein to your ice cream. When you throw your bananas in the blender, drop a spoonful (or two) of peanut butter in as well. The creamy flavors blend together perfectly for a rich, delicious dessert.[2]

    • If you want a bit of texture in your ice cream, try crunchy peanut butter!

[Edit]Nutella

  1. Bananas, chocolate, and hazelnuts can’t be beat. After you throw your frozen bananas into the blender, add 2 spoonfuls of Nutella in there too. Blend the mixture together for a yummy mix of flavors that could win anyone over.[3]

    • For extra sweet goodness, top your ice cream off with some whipped cream.

[Edit]Cinnamon

  1. Try a low-calorie flavor booster to stick with healthy options. Before you blend your bananas, add 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 g) of cinnamon in, too. Mix your ingredients together for a healthy way to spice up your ice cream.[4]

[Edit]Cocoa powder

    • This is another option that doesn’t add many calories at all.

[Edit]Honey

  1. Sweeten your ice cream naturally with some raw honey. Drizzle a spoonful or two over your frozen bananas, then blend your mixture together. If you absolutely love honey, you could even drizzle a little bit on top, too![6]

[Edit]Almonds

  1. Give your ice cream a crunch with some nuts. Pour a handful of almonds in with your frozen bananas, then blend them up. The almonds will crush up into small pieces so they’re easy to eat (and even easier to enjoy).[7]

    • If almonds aren’t your thing, try cashews or walnuts instead.

[Edit]Shredded coconut

  1. Add some fruity flavor to the top of your ice cream. Once your bananas are blended, pour them into a bowl. Grab a cheese grater and shred some coconut over the top of your ice cream before you dig in.[8]

    • If you love the flavor of coconut and want your ice cream a little creamier, add a splash of coconut milk into the blender before you blend your bananas.

[Edit]Chocolate chips

  1. Give your ice cream a sweet addition. When your bananas are blended, pour them into a bowl and grab a spoon. Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top for a delicious treat in every bite.[9]

    • If you don’t want the crunch, skip the chips and add chocolate sauce on top instead.

[Edit]Granola

  1. Banana ice cream for breakfast, anyone? When your bananas are blended, sprinkle on a handful of plain granola. Grab a bite of crunchy banana goodness in every spoonful.[10]

    • Mix in some chopped strawberries or a handful of blueberries for the ultimate breakfast meal.

[Edit]Vanilla wafer cookies

  1. Make your ice cream feel more like banana pudding. Blend up your bananas and pour them into a serving bowl. Add 3 to 4 vanilla wafer cookies on top, then use your spoon to crush them up before digging in.[11]
