2 Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream #IceCreamSocial

Ok, you caught me.....I lied.  This Ice Cream is supposed to be only 2 ingredients, but I had to add a little milk to get the consistency I wanted.  So I guess this is actually 3-ingredient ice cream, unless your bananas are a little riper and creamier than mine.  

We are having an Ice Cream Social today........

Jolene of Jolene's Recipe Journal invited those who wanted to join her for this annual event to make and share an Ice Cream Recipe today.  Let's see what everyone served up......

I almost felt as if I were cheating when I made this ice cream.  The only work involved is cutting up your overripe bananas into slices and freezing them for a couple of hours.  Once they are frozen, you simply put them into a heavy-duty blender (I used my Vitamix) and puree until smooth.  I needed to add about a Tablespoon of milk to get the consistency I desired.  Add some peanut butter, pulse to incorporate, and voila.....Ice Cream!!!

You can serve it immediately in its soft, fluffy form, or place it in a container, as I did, and freeze it for a scoopable consistency. 

There are a LOT of things to love about this ice cream.  I mean, peanut butter and bananas to start.  A match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned.  The ease of preparation.  Using up overripe bananas.  A non-guilt treat to satisfy that craving for something sweet.

But my FAVORITE thing about this recipe is....ICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST!!

Yep, I woke up Monday Morning to extreme heat index cautions in my neck of the woods.  What could be more perfect for breakfast than an icy-cold treat made with nothing more than bananas, a touch of milk, and peanut butter for added protein and flavor?  A perfect breakfast if I do say so myself.

Imagine the look of delight on your kids' faces when you tell them they get to have ice cream for breakfast.  I'm sure they will be as excited as I was.  Only you will know that they are having a complete, nutritious treat first thing in the morning.
