Do you dream of waking up to a big bowl of ice cream? So do I! That’s why I’m such a big fan of nice cream, a purely frozen banana-based sorbet. Blending the frozen banana pieces creates a rich, thick, and creamy dairy-free sorbet, that’s made entirely in your blender. Once you’ve made the base once or twice, try mixing it up with fresh berries, citrus, and other delicious and healthy flavors. This takes smoothie bowls to a whole new level.

Strawberry Banana
Ingredients
2 bananas
1/3 cup loose raspberries or strawberries
1/3 cup blueberries
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. lemon or lime juice
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tbsp. Sunbutter
1 tbsp. large flake or steel cut oats
Chop the bananas and strawberries into small chunks. Freeze all the fruit overnight. Arrange the pieces to freeze in a single sheet, as opposed to one big clump. This will make them easier to blend.
Take the fruit out of the freezer about 15 minutes before you’re ready to make breakfast. Add the fruit, maple syrup, and citrus juice to a blender or food processor and pulse until thick and smooth. It will take several minutes. You may have to pause and scrape the sides of the blender with a spoon to ensure all the chunks blend evenly.
Scoop the nice cream into two bowls. Top with the seeds, Sunbutter, oats, and some extra berries. Enjoy it nice and cold.
