Blueberry Banana Breakfast Ice Cream

The easiest way to get a little one excited about a healthy breakfast? Call it ice cream. This is one of my favorite undercover healthy dishes—sweet, creamy, and secretly good for you. I grab the discounted bananas at the grocery store and freeze them right away so they’re always ready to go. Keep it thick and spoonable like “ice cream,” or add a splash of juice or milk to turn it into a smoothie. Either way, it’s a win.

Serves: 1 big serving or 2 little ones 🍦

Perfect for one very happy “ice cream” eater or two smaller portions.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana

• 1 cup frozen blueberries

• 1 cup plain yogurt

• ½ teaspoon vanilla

• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (to taste)

• 
  

Toppings (optional):

• Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Run the frozen banana under warm water just long enough to loosen the peel. Remove the peel with a paring knife.

2. Slice the banana into ½-inch pieces and add them to a food processor.

3. Add the blueberries, yogurt, chia seeds or flaxseed, vanilla, and honey or sugar.

4. Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
