This Dark Chocolate Banana Ice Cream is one of my favorite recipes to make when I’m trying to eat better and want to feel like I’m eating a treat.

Ice cream is my favorite so when I can have something that tastes like it’s a treat but is secretly healthier, I’m all for it!

I’m sure you have all heard of banana ice cream before. Ya know, when you freeze bananas, pulse them in the food processor and it makes the creamiest concoction ever. Pretty much like soft-serve ice cream. It’s awesome.

As long as you have the frozen bananas on hand, this ice cream comes together so quickly.

I like to add some dark cocoa powder, chocolate chips, agave (or honey) to sweeten it a bit and a little bit of chocolate almond milk – or you can use regular chocolate milk.

The flavor is so amazing! Like a chocolate covered banana.

Everything gets pulsed in the food processor and turns into a creamy dreamy treat. You can eat it just like that for a soft-serve kind of ice cream, or you can put the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for a scoop-able consistency (pictured).
