Healthy Choco-Banoffee Ice Cream

Chocolate, banana, and coffee—quite a threesome, whether for breakfast or dessert, and this is healthy enough for breakfast while being decadent enough for dessert! With no dairy or added sugar, and lots of antioxidants, this is a healthy way to start or end your day.

You will need

• 3 bananas
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder, no additives
• 2 shots espresso, chilled
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• On standby: milk of your choice—we recommend almond or hazelnut

Method

(we suggest you read everything at least once before doing anything)

1) Peel, slice, and freeze the bananas (let them freeze for at least 2–3 hours)

2) Blend the ingredients, except the milk. Add milk as necessary if the mixture is too thick to blend. Be careful not to add too much at once though, or it will become less of an ice cream and more of a milkshake!

3) Scoop into a sundae glass to serve:

Enjoy!
