EASY & HEALTHY BANANA "ICE CREAM"
After seeing this idea floating around the web, I thought I'd experiment a little. Three simple ingredients, no sugar added, no ice cream machine needed... How much healthier and easier could it get? This "ice cream" is smooth like soft serve and naturally sweet. Plus it has the potential for so many add-ins (dark chocolate chips, chopped strawberries, nuts... just to name a few). Please note "Cooking Time" includes time needed to cure in the freezer. If you are as excited as my 4-year-old was to eat this "ice cream", you may choose to serve it directly after turning out of the food processor instead of freezing for 2-4 hours, but please be aware that it will be soft and melt much faster. My daughter, the best taste-tester around, approves, and I hope you do too!

HEALTHY BANANA SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM
A low-fat alternative to the usual soft serve. An ice cream maker is not needed. Because of its thickness, I have found that the Greek yogurt "Fage" works best. Also, if you add the juice, it is not recommended that you also add the vanilla, and vise-versa.

RASPBERRY-BANANA SOFT SERVE
When I make this ice cream, I mix and match bananas for their ripeness. Very ripe ones add more banana flavor. Less ripe ones have a fluffier texture. -Melissa Hansen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and creamier your soft serve will be.
- Freeze the bananas in advance: Freezing the bananas helps them to blend more smoothly and gives the soft serve a creamier texture.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add a variety of mix-ins to your soft serve, such as chocolate chips, nuts, fruit, or peanut butter.
- Serve immediately: Soft serve is best enjoyed immediately after it is made, as it will start to melt quickly.
