Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 low-fat cookies
- 0.5 cups almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel and slice the ripe bananas into small rounds and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Freeze the banana slices until completely solid, about 2 to 3 hours or overnight for best results.
In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana slices, non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, honey, almond milk, and salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. This may take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Once blended, break the low-fat cookies into small pieces and fold them gently into the banana mixture using a spatula.
Transfer the banana cookie mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the mixture for about 2 to 5 hours or until it reaches your desired ice cream consistency. Stir the mixture every hour during the first 2 hours to ensure even freezing.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Serve the low-fat banana cookie ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy your guilt-free treat!
