Peanut Butter, Banana & Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Last summer was the “summer of the popsicle” at our home because we made so many healthy, yummy versions (such as these and these). As soon as the weather began to warm up this Spring, we pulled out the ice cream machine that I have had for ten years…but haven’t used in almost as many.

Making homemade ice cream is just plain fun! The kids loved to help and it’s as easy as making a smoothie. Seriously! You simply blend together your ice cream ingredients (just like making a smoothie) and then allow them to churn through your ice cream maker for about 15 or so minutes. That’s it!

Here’s one of our first creations with ingredients so healthy you might ask, “Is it okay to eat ice cream for breakfast?” Not that I personally ever asked that question… 😉
