Healthy Dessert Recipes - Banana Berry Ice Cream. Hi you guys its Laura here from www.womens-fitness-tips.com.
Today I'm going to show you one of my favorite desserts, it's super super easy to make and
it tastes just like ice cream, but there's no ice cream and there's no sugar involved,
it's just made with fruit and some raw cacao and a little teeny drop of Stevia, just if
you want a little added sweetness. You can also use honey if you want to but like to
use just the fruit and then raw cacao and the Stevia. So what you're going to do is
take your Vitamix or your blender. I find it's really easy to make in a Vitamix because
you can control the speed really easily and I do everything with my Vitamix. What you
want to do is to take a frozen banana. I freeze my bananas individually. I peel them and then
I freeze them on a cutting board so that they don't all stick together. So you want to break
the banana up into like three pieces or four pieces and put that in the Vitamix. Then I
take some berries. You can use blueberries, but I have some strawberries here. They don't
have to be frozen. The banana NEEDS to be frozen for this to work. The other fruit can
be frozen, but it doesn't have to be. These are not frozen strawberries, these are just
fresh strawberries. Throw them in and then take your raw cacao powder. This is RAW cacao.
I bought this on Amazon. But they also have it at Whole Foods and places like that. You
just like a rounded teaspoon of the raw cacao. And then take one or two little scoops of
Stevia, depending on how sweet you like it. Now the processing of this is what's really
important because what you want to do if you're using your Vitamix is start it on slow. If
you start this too fast, it's going to fly everywhere and make a huge mess. So start
it on 1 and variable and then just turn this on and let it do its thing. It's just going
to kind of churn around and then you can see it jumping around in the Vitamix. My niece
says it's like making popcorn! Then you want to start turning it up as you start seeing
it blend. You want to turn it up....and then it's just going to start to blend and you
can scrape down the sides a little bit as you start to make it. Now when it gets stuck
and it stops you want to turn off your Vitamix and you can see it's really creamy in there.
So no you want to give it a bit of a stir with your spoon just to kind of get it back
down to the blade a bit. And then let it process some more. And now the second time you can
turn it up faster. You'll see how it works as you're processing it....WHIRRR....and then
suddenly like nothing is going to happen because it gets air underneath it so nothing will
happen. So you might have to stir it up just one last time, and then....let it process
once more....WHIRRRRR.....and that's it! It takes just a few minutes to do, and then you
have a rich, creamy dessert, like ice cream. It's soooooo good! It's really good with blueberries
too, they're both amazing. Give it a try and let me know what you think. It's sooooo good!
