This vegan banana soft serve is a creamy, delicious frozen treat! Made with only one ingredient, it’s plant-based, dairy free, and refined sugar free. It’s also totally kid friendly.
One of the things I delight in most is to create vegan alternatives to beloved and familiar treats. Nothing embodies this process more than the following recipe for life-changing vegan banana soft serve. I hesitate to call it a recipe, even, because it’s so ridiculously simple!
Back in my pre-vegan days, I was obsessed with low-calorie soft-serve ice creams—Tasti-D-Lite, Crema Lita, etc. (I’m sure that if I would have loved Pinkberry, too, but it appeared on the scene long after I went vegan). I’m now thankfully past the point of insisting on low calorie treats, but I’ve kept my love of soft serve ice cream. I prefer it, honestly, to traditional, firmer scoops.
If you happen to share my weakness for this type of froyo, then this is the treat for you. It’s raw, vegan, made from fresh fruit, and 100% delicious. It’s also kid-friendly and ridiculously simple to make. And, while I’m a big believer that desserts don’t have to be nutritious in order to be worthy, this one happens to be.
Friends, behold banana soft serve.
That’s right. Who knew that frozen bananas could, if given a spin in the food processor, rival the best frozen yogurt in town? Believe me, they do. Once you try this recipe, I guarantee you’ll crave it as often as conventional frozen treats. Maybe even more often. And you won’t believe how straightforward it is to make. See for yourself!
Making banana soft serve
Food processor
There are two ways to make banana soft serve: with a food processor, or in a blender. I’m devoted to using a food processor. I think it gives the soft serve the richest, creamiest texture. If you’re willing to be patient, you won’t need to add any milk to get a beautiful, whipped, smooth texture. The downside of this method is that it can be noisy and dramatic (more on this below). And of course, you’ll need a powerful food processor (at least 7 cups) to do it.
Blender
You can also use a blender to make your banana soft serve. If you do, you’ll probably need to add some non-dairy milk to get things blending. How much milk you add will depend on the blender you use: the more powerful, the less milk you’ll need to add. If you have a blender with a tamper, you can use that to keep the bananas blending without using a lot of liquid.
Tips for perfect banana ice cream
Be patient
If you use a food processor to make your banana soft serve, you’ll need to be patient. It takes a few minutes (about 5) for the bananas to reach a good consistency. The process is a lot like making homemade nut butter. There will be a moment when it seems as though the bananas will never turn into ice cream, but if you allow them to do their thing, they will.
Add liquid slowly
If you use a blender (or a Nutribullet), start with a small amount of non-dairy milk and add more slowly. I recommend one tablespoon at a time. If you add a lot of liquid at once, you’ll end up with something that’s more of a smoothie than ice cream. And while that’s lovely, it’s not the goal!
Use your tamper tool
This applies only to blender banana soft serve, but use your tamper tool if you have one. Using the tamper as you go will ensure that the soft serve can blend into creamy goodness without the need for a lot of non-dairy milk.
Adding mix-ins
Once your soft serve is ready, you can jazz it up with the addition of favorite mix-ins! Mine include melted vegan chocolate, peanut butter, vegan chocolate chips, cinnamon, and toasted coconut flakes. You can either sprinkle these add-ins on top, or you can quickly pulse or blend them into the soft serve to distribute them. A little dollop of raw, vegan whipped cream is also a nice treat.
Banana Soft Serve
Author –Yields: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large or 3 medium ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and then frozen
- 2-6 tablespoons non-dairy milk (as needed; see instructions)
- optional: vegan chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate, peanut butter, frozen blueberries, pinch of cinnamon, toasted coconut flakes, melted vegan chocolate, or any other toppings of choice
Instructions
- If using a food processor: Place the bananas in a food processor fitted with the S blade. Turn the machine on. The bananas will get knocked around and make a lot of noise. This is normal! Keep processing until the bananas start to develop a whipped, light, creamy texture; stop when they resemble frozen yogurt. This will take 4-5 minutes. Patience is key. If your bananas are still not getting whipped up by the processor after 4 minutes, add 1-2 tablespoons nondairy milk to get things moving. When the mixture is creamy, with a rich, whipped texture, add chocolate chips, coconut, or any other mix-ins you like. Pulse to combine. Serve immediately.
- If using a blender: Place the bananas in a blender, along with 1/4 cup milk. Blend till they have a creamy, frozen yogurt consistency. If your blender has a tamper tool, use it to facilitate blending. Add extra non-dairy milk as needed to help the bananas blend. Serve immediately with mix-ins of choice.
Storing banana soft serve
I think that this vegan soft serve is best enjoyed when it’s just been made. However, you can re-freeze it once if you end up with extra on your hands. If you do this, you can actually return it to your blender or food processor when you’re ready to eat the leftovers. This will help you to get a creamy, whipped texture once again.
Adding other fruits
Readers often ask whether you can create fruit ice cream with other fruits. The short answer is yes, of course! Frozen cherries and mango also make wonderful fruit ice creams. When it comes to texture, though, I think bananas can’t be beat. No other fruit has given me the same smooth, creamy consistency that bananas do.
If you’d like to add another fruit, I recommend starting with a base of at least 2 bananas and adding one cup of another fruit. This will ensure that your ice cream still has that lovely, frozen yogurt consistency. My favorite fruit additions are blueberries, cherries, and peaches. If you’d like more tips (and a great recipe that includes peaches), you can check out this article.
I can’t begin to do justice to how delicious this is! So what are you waiting for? Stop reading, and start freezing those bananas you’ve got sitting on the counter. You can thank me later 😉
Have a beautiful, sunny Saturday.

It’s neat to know that there are others out there making such an effort to convert to veganism. I’ve been trying to do the whole shaband in less than a year, and I think my biggest struggle is the cost. I like this post, thanks for the ideas and encouragement.

I just found this amazing “recipe” a few days ago and I made it last night (and today) and prob will everyday for the rest of my life haha. This is unbelievably amazing!! I made everyone in my family try it, and I sent it to a few close friends. Thank you for posting this!!
Can you use a blender to make this? and if you can what button would you press?
Lay the smack down, Gena! Hahaha.
For the record, this was a new idea for me when I first came across this post – and I’m a better person for trying it! Banana soft serve rules. I think animal products make people cranky… 😉
I’m pretty excited to try this tonight! Thanks for the recipe 😀
Loved the recent comments on this and your responses Gena:) Wondering if you’ve ever added nut milk to BSS? My mom was just talking about a dairy queen Banana Blizzard and I wanted to challenge her with a vegan version.
what if one hates bananas? Any thoughts? 🙂
yee ! 🙂
like it or not, you have a cult classic on your blog… (I had never heard of this either, before reading about it here).
haters schmaters, lets go freeze some naners! 🙂
Gena,
I like your replies to all of the haters. You’re ha-larious! Rock on.
I heard about this ‘ice cream’ a while ago, but was skeptical. I just tried it and really don’t see what the big deal is. Not that great, a bit gross actually. I’d rather have real ice cream, and I wouldn’t feel one bit guilty about it.
Melissa,
Thank you for expressing your opinion of the recipe so ungraciously. It would seem that real ice cream is doing marvelous things for your tact.
Gena
hhahaha omg. I love you, Gena.
The solution of not having a large food processor is pretty simple… just chop the bananas up into small pieces before freezing it. I chopped three bananas up almost into mush and then was easily able to blend them in a Magic Bullet. Just to see how it worked the other way, I blended 2 large bananas and 2 big strawberries last night and set them in the freezer 🙂
Looks amazing! Do you think this would work in a mini Cuisinart or would I break it? I’ve been trying to make an approximation using bananas and unsweetened almond milk in my regular ol’ blender but it’s more like a milkshake. A tasty, tasty milkshake, but still… I’d love to try some actual banana soft serve!
Alas, a mini cuisinart ain’t gonna do it. Sorry! I HIGHLY recommend investing in a full size Cuisinart — they’re my most essential kitchen purchase. But otherwise, you can try with a blender and some liquid, but it’ll be more smoothie-ish than ice cream-ish 🙂
I actually tried it with my mini-cuisinart…I just let the bananas soften realllyyyy quickly before I blended them up and it worked great.
I have a mini-food processor and it seems to work fine! just add a splash of liquid.
Hey Gena, I just wanted to let you know that this inspired me to create ‘mango sorbet’ by whirling some frozen mangoes in the food processor. And that led me to create a Mango Lassi Parfait. Here’s the link if you’re interested! http://amourpetitgateau.blogspot.com/2010/06/mango-lassi-parfait.html
Thanks for the inspiration!
I make this all the time, except sadly I am without a blender at the moment.
This is making me want it 🙂
Thanks for the reminder 😀
This is SO DELICIOUS! I’ve been bitter since moving out of NYC to a tasti d-lite-less fro yo wasteland and this is my savior. I added some peanut butter…sooooo goood!
There is a new business in Rehoboth Beach DE that exclusively serves this treat–they put frozen banannas thru a juicer and serve various toppings. The place is called Annie Bannanie. My favorite topping is the “Key Lime Pie”.
I made the dish myself, at home with a food processor and it was just as good–I added a small dab of whipped cream on the top! Better than any ice cream around!
I’m not vegan but this will be my replacement for ice cream. Had it for the first time with my Aunt this weekend in her juicer, so I did found your blog looking for alternatives in preparing because I don’t have/won’t buy a juicer right now (no counter space, small small house).
She used a similar agave/coco powder syrup and it was delicious as well.
Even my non-vegan husband is looking forward to trying this new ‘ice cream’!
Thanks for sharing, beautiful pictures too!
I am not raw, (allergic to nuts) not vegan, (I love cheese) and 10 years old, but this sounds really appealing to me! I would make this if we had a food processor. (sigh)
I make banana pops in a similar way; take banana chunks, put in a popsicle stick. Dip in agave-cocoa or agave-carob. Then in crushed nuts, if you can eat nuts. Freeze in those little fluted candy cups. Make a really fun raw dessert or decadent snack.
WOAH I tried it last night and it was amazing! Today I made another two bowls… yum yum. The concept seems simple but I’ve never thought of it myself.
I changed the recipe a bit to fit my own taste though. The banana paste alone is way too sweet for me, so I added the Silk brand Vanilla Soy Milk to even out the sweetness. The final product is more a smoothie than a froyo, so I’m still experimenting, hoping to get back the froyo texture. but either way, it’s unbelievably good… i also sprinkle on almonds and roasted black sesame, both crushed.
to sum it up, this is amazing and THANK YOU. I finally found a dessert that is delicious and healthy, it’ll stick 🙂
I was wondering what your experience was with making this recipe with your vitamix. I often throw frozen bananas and then a handful of either frozen berries, peaches, mango, etc. and 1 cup almond milk in the Vitamix. I love, love this!! I’m going to try your recipe in my food processor tomorrow. It looks amazing!
Hey Kelly,
I don’t mind doing it this way, but then I consider the result a smoothie, not a soft serve! The whole point of this recipe is to recreate the thickness of soft serve.
Gena
I’ve had good luck making it in my vitamix, but I only use about 1/4 cup of liquid just to get it going. I like to add frozen pineapple and a touch of coconut extract.
do you think it can work with other fruits – or this is solo a banana quality ?
Yuval – yes, it works with other fruits, too.
Try whizzing some frozen raspberries, adding some Icing Sugar* through the chute & a spoonful of cream. Or strawberries, (which shouldn’t need the sweetening.) Or combine some berries with the bananas. Just don’t process it too long, as it will easily turn too liquidy…
* This may be known as powdered sugar where you live?
Try adding frozen fruit to breakfast smoothies, too – it makes a huge difference to the taste, & on a hot summer morning it is quite fabulous!
its great i took it to my site – is it ok ? i put a link to you ?
its really simple but it turned out a little sour- i guess i should have waited more for the bananas to get ripe – do you wait until they are covered in black spots ?
Hello! Kath treated me to this AMAZING treat a few weeks ago! I am currently working with the school district as part of my dietetic internship and I am hoping to get them to start selling this tasty treat to the kids instead of pop tarts, ice cream, and sugary yogurt! It is FANTASTIC! Thanks!
LOVE! I did make it in a blender, and a rather crummy blender at that. I made sure the banana pieces were fairly small, and I added about 1/4 c of soy milk. I had to stop/start the blender about 25 times to break up the banana block with a wooden spoon (I’m not kidding, 25 times), but it was worth it — this is delicious.
oh my goodness. this post has changed my life. that was soo sosososososoososooo soooo soo SOOO good.
Hello! My blog is about nutrition…classic style. And I’m doing an experiment where I go raw for one week (simply out of curiosity). Do you have any tips to offer?
🙂
I haven’t tried the syrup you described, but I did this to a lot of bananas when I was a kid- its a nice sometimes substitute for ice cream. 🙂
I am a college student living on a budget, is there any way I can make something just as delicious with my blender? Suggestions?
this post really changed my life :)) first times i couldn’t blend it well and tried adding water, but then i found out how to make it (I guess my blender is not so powerful and is not always managing with my tasks :)) and it is really perfect!
Thank you, your site is gorgeous, I’m as addicted to trying new stuff ;))
This is truly the best dessert I ever have. Thank you SO MUCH! I am addicted now!!
LOVE THIS RECIPIE!! My only advice is to add the bananas a few at a time to the food processor, otherwise the weight of the banana on the blade makes it go too slow. I can’t believe how easy (and delicious!) this is. What else can we make into “ice cream”?
Hmmmmmmm! love it!!! 🙂 I enjoy reading your blog!
Just to share from James Reno piece for
Raw-Food-Repair.com called
Raw Food Diet Made Easy! You might be interested on it…Check it out and enjoy!
Oh my goodness!!!! My roommate and I (who both have lots of food restrictions) tried this last night and it was SOOOOO good! Thank you so much for sharing; I have been missing ice cream
I just made this banana recipe and it tasted amazing. Gena, you are really talented! Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to try this with strawberry slices on top of the banana.
I just found your blog and I have to say,
it is quite fabulous! 🙂
I find your eating style refreshing and I believe that somewhere down the road, you and all those healthy living bloggers out there will have a great impact on my young teenage life- and into the future.
Rock on! 🙂
I just made that, with the chocolate sauce and all. Absolutely amazing! How do you come up with these things? I’m going to blog about it tomorrow. Looking forward to trying your other recipes 🙂
This looks insanely good! I saw a similar recipe on another website and wanted to make it, this is now just the final sign!
Holy……wow….that’s crazy. I’m so gonna try that with my frozen bananas! Thank you…..I just found your website and the recipes all look great. I subscribed in my reader!
T.
Tried the Banana soft-serve……..outstanding but very strong banana flavor. Need to find something to even it out a bit.(Ripe plantains are good) Mango…. If you use non-fibrous mangoes like Keitt or Kent they are even better than banana….
BUT…if you are addicted (like I am) to the Oriental fruit, “Durian” , (look it up on Google–you won’t like it) It is even better than Mango… “Durian- lovers unite” (at the nearest Vietnamese market)….
Gena,
This recipe was passed on to me by my good friend, Ashley, and it has indeed changed my life!!!!
thanks for the inspiration — yummm!
Lindsay
You are right- it has changed my life. I totally plan on making this soon. But why doesn’t it work in a blender? I’d love to be able to use my blendtec on it.
thank you so much for this recipe, i loved it sooo much, i will definitely be making it again. my mom used to make something like this only she used the champion juicer, but this is easier to get out than the juicer. delicious!!!
RIDICULOUSLY simple recipe…I must try it 🙂 Thanks!
I saw this over on KERF on Thursday. I immediately moved a couple of soggy bananas I was going to make bread with from the fridge to the freezer. I made this tonight and I’m speechless. So good. I can’t wait to make this for my son one day – (he’s only just started eating solid foods).
This was a delicious alternative to icecream!
I made it tonight and sprinkled carob powder on top…it was sooo GOOD!
I just couldn’t believe how the consistency was so much like frozen yogurt. It was great!
This was absolutely AMAZING! Of course it was. You’re a genius, Gena. So simple, yet SO GOOD. I ate this as a snack this afternoon (right now, in fact) with some almond butter swirled in, and it really is incredible. Thanks for the idea!
ive i have been seeing this around the blog lately and tried it for myself tonight and it was amazing!! thanks for sharing :]
Hi! I tried this because I had seen it on a few other blogs. It is delicious! I love mine with peanut butter–even my husband liked it! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
WOW. Who knew! Perfect for late night snacking without morning-after-sugar-hangover! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Looks delicious! And I already freeze all my bananas if they are past their time, to use in banana pancakes… it is great to have another use for them. A yummy and healthy use!
You’re right – that post *did* change my life! I’ve been making this banana soft serve for weeks and I’m so in love with it! I even add frozen strawberries to mine (or other berries if I have them on hand). Our non-raw omni guests have fallen in LOVE with this dessert! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the reminder about frozen bananas…such a simple thing, it’s easy to forget about it! Definitely putting bananas on my shopping list, now. 😀
I just tried your banana soft serve last night and am kicking myself for not making this months ago! So good! Do you think it would work with a single banana? I’m guess the food processor needs two to be effective, but I was left with more than I wanted to eat. I just popped it back in the freezer, and I’m hoping the texture will still be good if I let it thaw a bit.
Hey Shelly!
It would probably work, but sort of take a while in the processor.
Gena
Did this last night with some cocoa powder and stevia. OMG… I think I have my everynight dessert! Ahhhhmazing!
I tried this at a raw-food restaurant once and I’ve been searching for the recipe ever since-so I can’t wait to try this! I just threw a couple of bananas in the freezer 🙂 yum
This post DID change my life!! Friggin awesome!
Just finally made this for the first time!! It was so fantastic and my friends were SHOCKED. Definitely going to try it with some flaked dark chocolate on top in the future.
Can you use another fruit?
mango+avocado?
strawberry?
Devan,
Absolutely!
Gena
Just made this and not only was it AMAZING, it was totally easy. I am a Fro-yo addict but this just may be the ticket to kick my bad habit. Thanks so much. Try my watermelon gazpacho recipe on my blog, I think you’ll like it 🙂
You aren’t kidding! I thought the title of this post was ballsy when I read it the first time, but now that I have my food processor and have given the banana thang a try, holy God. So nice I did it twice, the second time with unsweetened cocoa. Nom nom nom nom…
I’m officially on the banana boat.
Oh my god – that’s it; those pictures have sold me. That looks AMAZING! I don’t own a food processor at my apartment yet, but I can’t wait to get up to my boyfriend’s and borrow his to whip up some ice-cream. He always freezes his bananas in case I want to make banana bread, and he has a couple that aren’t actually overripe. Thanks!
I know I am probably the millionth person to tell you this but I now OBSESSED with this for dessert 🙂 Especially with some peanut butter. You should get an award for this or something 🙂
This is the easiest amazing ice cream recipe I’ve ever found. I made this twice today!
Hi! I don’t have a food processor at the moment…would this work in a blender?
Thanks!
I do this with my juicer (champion juicer) and mix in frozen berries or fruits. Really goes well with frozen peaches or frozen strawberries mixed in.
This is delicious! I’ve been trying to find something that would satisfy my sweet tooth and not be bad for me, this is it! So tasty…
WOW! I’m so excited to try this!!!!!
I am in charge of dinner at my parents place tomorrow night – I might just create this one for our dessert… 🙂
awesome!
did you make the chocolate syrup with the food processor too? because when i try to mix cocoa powder with agave, it doesn’t mix, it just becomes clumpy.
So after the title of the post I had to try this recipe, and what can I say? It is a-freakin’-mazing!
The second time I made it I created an even more decadent treat by adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of raw cacao powder and a teaspoon of raw vanilla powder. It tasted just like soft-serve chocolate ice cream (but better, because it is raw and delish!) Thanks for the very simple, but wonderful recipe!
I just had to drop you a line and let you know how much I’ve been enjoying this treat. I serve it to my son almost daily. I mix it up with chocolate sauce or berries or peanut butter, and he devours it. Anytime you can get a two year old to eat fruits and veggies is a big plus, so thanks for this! I made it when he had a play group over last week and the kids ALL loved in, so much so that one mom called to ask specifically what kind of ice cream I fed the kids, because her child was refusing to eat any other kind.
Finally made this tonight for the first time for Hubby and me. Added a few drops of vanilla, about a tablespoon of rice milk and a few sprinkles of cinnamon to one very ripe and one just ripe frozen banana. YUM!!! Next time will not use an overly ripe banana, and may add coconut chips then sprinkle with crushed walnuts. Can see lots of possibilities with this as the base . . . oh, and my parrot absolutely loved it, too!
The banana recipe sounds yummy! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks,
I did it! Not only is this a great snack with a lot of possibilities to jazz it up, but I now have a perfect way to use bananas that are too mushy for my taste.
It’s in the freezer now and I can get a scoop out after my walk, toss on a few berries and cover the potassium and phytochemical requirements of my daily diet…genius
I am so freezing bananas ASAP and making this. Great post!
I’ve been making banana “ice cream” for years! It’s my favorite summer dessert. I love sprinkling a little cinnamon and nutmeg on top. Last summer I found a place that actually sold banana ice cream. They make it right in front of you in the food processor as well. Pretty cool stuff! I also love to eat just the frozen banana as a “popsicle”.
Yes, your banana soft serve has changed my life! 🙂 We all love it, but the toddler usually eats it fast enough to get the most… (I have only a mini food processor, so I can only make a little bit at a time, but I think it’s about time for a “real” food processor.)
Thanks for making summer so yummy! 🙂
Just had to say thank you – I haven’t yet tried it as soft serve, as I am recovering from a broken jaw, but yesterday used this as the basis for a “banana bread shake” and it was amazing.
This looks incredible – I’ve been on the fence about investing in a food processor, and will have to run out and buy one so that I can make this! I think you’re on to the next food blogger recipe with a cult following – a la Green Monster!
I started doing that when I first read Fit For Life, about 6 years ago. I also make a raspberry version, with frozen raspberries and just enough almond milk to make it creamy. Add a little bit of stevia or agave, and when I’m feeling decadent, some cocoa nibs. Yum!
Tried it, loved it!! I just wish I had a better blender. 🙁
I saw this over at Ashleys site (dancing through life) it sounds sooooo yummy, I have bananas in the freezer all of the time but usually just eat them … I am so going to be trying this…I have never thought about raw food until now. I must make more effort! :o)
omg, this was unbelievable! thanks so much for such an awesome idea.
Wow!!! I had frozen some banana’s to munch on but never thought about making an ice cream. How creative and simple..thanks..can’t wait to try it.
Blessings and Joy,
Sid
I can’t wait to try this. Can you do it in a high quality blender?
Looks delish. Dr Weil actually has a similar recipe this too. I believe he slices the banana though, puts on a plate to freeze for maybe 20 minutes, then froths it in the food processor. It was quite yummy too.
I just made this for the first time and love it! I was just wondering, would this work with any other kind of frozen fruit?
sometimes I add other types of fruit to my frozen bananas…the bananas make it creamy…if you just use berries it tends to be more like sorbet and you might need to re-freeze it.
I like frozen cherries and bananas…mmmmm
I made it two times so far after reading about it on KERF’s site. It’s yummy indeed, and so simple. To mix it easier, the second time I added some liquid and the result was as great!
I tried this last night! I put my own spin on it, and posted the review in my blog – but I definitely intend on making it again. SOON!
I saw this over on Eating Bender and I’m glad I did! I’m going to put my bananas in the freezer tonight 🙂 I have a feeling that after I try this, I won’t need real ice cream anymore!
This looks awesome. I’ve tried this in my Vitamix and did not get great results. I will have to try it in my food processor now. Thanks for sharing.
I made this tonight, I added some cacoa powder, vanilla and agave and it made the best chocolate ice cream, thank you!!!
Gena,
Should I let the bananas thaw a bit before putting them in the processor? The last time I tried putting frozen stuff in the processor (bananas & strawberries), i thought it was going to jump off the counter! Do I just need to wait it out?
Thanks!
Jess
I am making this ASAP. Sounds delicious!!
<3 jess
YUM! Banana milkshakes are a family favorite but so loaded with calories we don’t have them often. This was just as good! Thanks for the great idea- we’ll be having these all the time now!
Made it last night. Loved it – it is crazy good!
oh my goodness. I have bananas that need to be frozen, so I know what I will be doing 🙂
I must be doing something wrong because mine didn’t work. My bananas just hung out on the side of the food processor no matter how many times I scraped it down. Any ideas?
How odd! Try to break the bananas apart before you dump them in the processor: don’t have them all in a giant frozen mass.
add a splash of almond milk!
This was really amazing! Thank you for this inspired bit of goodness.
I’m surprised by all the comments. I didn’t think this was anything new.
This is sort of an obnoxious comment. I don’t think everyone thought it was new: I think people were excited to see it presented to them with enthusiasm. Have a nice day.
Your candor is refreshing Gena. 🙂
I didn’t think this was “new” per se… I have read about putting frozen bananas through the juicer to make this. Didn’t work with my juicer, so I was glad to see these new-to-me instructions here. It’s good with almond butter. I will try it with crushed nuts, honey, frozen berries and whatever else I can find. Thanks Gena!!!
It was new to me!
It was new to me too. Many thanks, Gena:-)
New to me too! Looks fantastic (*runs to put bananas in freezer).
New to me as well! I made it this weekend and absolutely loved it. Delicious.
