Blueberry Banana Breakfast Ice Cream

The easiest way to get your little 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.

Breakfast Ice Cream! 🍌🫐 All the fun of ice cream, with the goodness of fruit and yogurt. Your little will never know the difference! 😋

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana

• 1 cup frozen blueberries

• 1 cup plain yogurt

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed

• ½ teaspoon vanilla

• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (to taste)

Toppings (Optional)

• Mini chocolate chips

• Sprinkles

• Chopped nuts

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 frozen blueberries and process the frozen fruit until finely chopped and beginning to form a thick, smooth mixture. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.

4. Add the yogurt and process until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and creamy.

5. Add the chia seeds or ground flaxseed, vanilla, and honey or sugar. Blend briefly until everything is combined.

6. Spoon into a bowl or glass and finish with your favorite toppings!

Tips & Variations

• For a smoothie: Add a splash of milk or juice until you reach your desired consistency.

• For extra protein: Swap plain yogurt for Greek yogurt.

• For extra fun: Let the kids decorate their own bowls with chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts.

• For the best texture: Process the frozen fruit first, then add the yogurt. This helps create a thick, creamy, ice cream-like consistency without watering it down.
