I’m always amazed how the raw food diet can mimic much of what an unraw diet consists of.
Like ice-cream or soft serve for instance! You know; that soft, creamy, and sweet texture that seems to get anyone to smile.
You must believe me when I tell you bananas as ice cream is DA-BANANA-BOMB! It’ll have you buying up all the ripe banana’s at your grocery store. I swear. It’s the truth.
Don’t believe?! Try it!
So simple. So sweet and so, so, versatile- which is why the base of this recipe is delectable on it’s own or when made into your own lovely creation.
Healthy for ya & dairy free! No added sugars or perservatives. Homemade goodness that’s sure to save you a couple dollars since you won’t be buying gallon jugs of ice cream as often.
Raw Food Nation tweeted this recipe and the tagline had the words Raw Banana Soft Serve…
umm! that’s all I needed to know- so I clicked on the link.. and fell in raw dessert LOVE!
Yay, for clicking on that link because it lead me to Gena’s site- Choosing Raw.
I’ve been finding all kinds of wonderful raw recipes on her site.
Her Red Pepper Hemp Soup is a yummy must. We made this last week but sipped and slurped this up SO fast that I forgot to take pics!
I know. I’m a dork. Such is baby life-mama brain- whatever you want to call it- I just forgot. Soup was on and we will be making it again this winter!
My first time having hemp seeds in a soup and it was creamy, curry, red pepper yum!
OKAY, I digress… sorry!
I wish I would’ve known about “fro-yo” in the raw world much sooner. Move over banana bread- cuz I’m going banana’s for this recipe.
Here’s what you’ll need!
2-3 ripe organic banana’s
cut banana’s into chunks and place in freezer until frozen. 2-3 hrs.
Place frozen banana chunks into food processor and begin to run. Allow bananas to become a creamy texture. It will sound like your food processor is going to break at first but once it breaks up the banana and runs for about 5-7 minutes or so… you’ll get the creamy texture you’re looking for.
Yes! It’s that easy! I scraped in half of a fresh vanilla bean and made the raw chocolate syrup my first time. You can add in different fruits and even add in leafy greens. I’ve been playing around with this recipe and am wondering what this would taste like with the best, sweetest banana’s on the planet! Mmmmm! Heaven.
Next time your at your local grocery store…think like a monkey &
Go Banana’s!

That looks so good! If I wasn’t allergic to bananas I’d be all over it!

I have tried this before and you are right it is SO yummy. I have even served it to my kids for breakfast. Can’t beat ice cream for breakfast. Mmmmmmm.

Oh, no’s! Bum deal. Maybe next time, Julia! Or- maybe your kids would like it- are they allergic too?!!

Containing three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber,
a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.
No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes.
But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit.

That would be good for the kids, luckily they aren’t allergic! Maybe add in some cacao chips as well!

I just found this awesome raw recipe from nutritionals Rose Cole for an eggnog substitute. I can’t believe how good it is, and it’s sugar-free, dairy-free, and RAW! http://ow.ly/BN0C Just thought I would pass it on.
