For your fruity chocolate cravings, this Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe saves the day! A recipe that’s guaranteed to be healthier and as the name mentions, gluten-free! For only 5 minutes of your time and three to four ingredients, you’re getting a creamy, chocolaty ice cream!
Chocolate ice cream is classic! It’s easy to say that chocolate puts happiness in everything and ice cream is definitely not an exception. It thrills and gratifies anyone, both kids and adults. Some even can’t simply live without chocolate.
Some experts are also against sweets, to which chocolate is often mentioned. However, desserts without the taste of chocolate would just be sad. Thankfully, these days, we are learning that chocolate is not that bad at all. It has health benefits too, for example, antioxidants. Best of all, since the base is banana, it’s like having your favorite banana split too!
Bananas, cocoa, and almond butter are nutritious ingredients. Those 3 are just what you need when you use a blender. If what you have is a food processor, you would just need to add almond milk (still a healthy option) to mix them together easily. Just like with banana split, you can top it off with healthy toppings like frozen or fresh berries, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate chips or chunks, and more. The list just goes on and on.
This Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe is so awesome that you might find yourself having it on repeat. Enjoy!
