If you’re on a diet or you’re just trying to eat healthy, this one-ingredient banana ice cream is for you!!! It’s sweet, creamy, 100% natural, super tasty and you only need 1 ingredient to make it: frozen bananas, that’s all!
You also need a powerful food processor or a blender. I’ve made this ice cream using my Vitamix blender and my new Cuisinart food processor and both work, but the ice cream is creamier when I use the food processor.
Add your favorite toppings (chopped fruits, nuts, seeds, dates, maple syrup or whatever you can imagine) and enjoy the healthier ice cream you can eat. Seriously, you really need to give this recipe a try!

Feel free to add other frozen fruits besides the frozen bananas to get other flavors, berries and mangoes are my favorite. If the fruit is ripe, the ice cream will be so sweet, but you can add dates or any other natural sweeter like maple or date syrup if you want.
Cut the bananas into 3 or 4 pieces (or cut them into coins if your blender or food processor is not very powerful), put them in an airtight container and freeze overnight. If your blender/food processor can’t blend the frozen bananas, add some plant milk (coconut milk and nut milks are awesome to make ice cream) or some non frozen bananas (I’d use 3 frozen and 3 non frozen bananas).
Blend the bananas until you have a super creamy banana ice cream. Be patient, keep blending and you’ll get it!
I’m in love with my new food processor, it’s expensive, I know, but it’s an investment in my health and it will last forever. A food processor is an essential tool for some healthy recipes, especially to make raw desserts.
You can eat the ice cream immediately, but it will be super soft, so I prefer to transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 1 hour or until solid. If it’s too hard, let stand at room temperature for at least 10 minutes or until it has the perfect consistency.
This ice cream is really healthy, so you can eat it every single day, yay! If you make this one-ingredient banana ice cream, please leave a comment or tag a picture #simpleveganblog on Instagram (or any other social network).
