Description
A creamy, dairy-free banana ice cream made in the Ninja Creami using just bananas, almond milk, and vanilla. Naturally sweet and vegan-friendly, it's a healthy treat that feels indulgent.
Ingredients
2 medium ripe bananas
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1–2 tsp peanut butter or almond butter
Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for topping
Instructions
- Slice the bananas into small chunks and freeze them in an airtight container for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Transfer the frozen banana pieces into a Ninja Creami pint container.
- Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Optionally, mix in peanut butter or almond butter for extra creaminess.
- Place the container into the Ninja Creami and run the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Smoothie Bowl” cycle.
- Check the texture after the first spin. If crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of almond milk and respin until smooth and creamy.
- Serve immediately or top with sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Store leftovers in the freezer and respin before serving again.
Notes
Use bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness and texture.
Almond milk keeps the recipe low-carb, but oat or cashew milk can be used as alternatives.
For added flavor, try mixing in cocoa powder, cinnamon, or nutmeg before spinning.
Re-spin frozen leftovers for the best creamy consistency.
