Raw, Gluten Free, Dairy Free Banana Ice Cream

Did you ever think you could have ice cream for breakfast? Why not with our fantastic raw, gluten free, dairy free banana ice cream!

Super healthy - delicious - and easy!



Ingredients:
1 Frozen Banana, Almond Milk and cinnamon to taste.

Directions:

First thing you want to do is to remove the peel, cut up your banana and freeze. After your banana is frozen, combine a few tablespoons of almond milk and cinnamon to taste in the food processor.



You want to process until your banana mixture becomes the consistency of soft serve ice cream. You will need to stop and scrape the sides down a few times and can add more almond milk to help move it along. If you don't have almond milk then go ahead and use some water, it works just as well.

Once it's all processed then simply enjoy!

For some variations, you can add dark chocolate chips, nuts and fresh fruit. If you want to make more of a sorbet texture, then you can also add some other frozen fruits like oranges or strawberries to your bananas! The list is endless as to what fun creations you can make! Have fun and enjoy!

Check out our fun video we made for my dad, because he was looking for some healthy recipes to make. Ok, so my son insisted on being camera man and is still getting used to keeping the camera steady, but we had so much fun making it! http://youtu.be/hS62R1KsOIE

Hanging out in Point...

What a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore today. It definitely felt like Spring, so we headed out first thing this morning to take a nice long walk with our dog Mandy, maneuvering our way through the woods and then decided to go antique shopping in Point Pleasant, NJ.
Green Planet's Coffee Shop was the first place we visited, located on Arnold Avenue in Point Pleasant, NJ. We relaxed for a bit on their fluffy couches while enjoying one of their signature chai latte's. It had such a cute atmosphere and while I am now and always will be a Starbucks girl, I would definitley go back again. Their chai latte was absolutely delicous!
After a brief stroll down Arnold Avenue and looking in a few shops, we went to the Point Pleasant Antique Emporium to see what treasures we could find! While no BIG finds, my husband did find a few neat post cards. Other than that, we just enjoyed hanging out together and looking at antiques.

Afterwards, we enjoyed a lovely lunch at Jason's Organic Pizza Cafe. The cute little pizzaria features vegan and gluten free options.
I was in my glory after tasting his gluten free pizza! I loved it, although I was a little concerned when I saw vegan and organic because my husband is not a huge fan. Well, to my surprise, he ordered a whole wheat pizza crust and he really liked it.

He also liked the salad as well. Sh... don't tell him, but the salad had spinach on it. He hates spinach, but he ate up every bit and even liked it!! Looks like I will be trying this for him at home! They were very sweet and even checked the package to make sure their was no gluten in my salad dressing, as well letting me know they have other gluten free options available, including sandwich rolls.


He told me he also was unable to eat gluten as well, so he takes a lot of care in the food he prepares. I will definitely be back!

Well, looks like it's back to reality! It's time to pick up our son from the bus, do some homework and maybe make a quick trip to end our day with an ice cream cone! I love this Spring weather!!
