Instructions

Prepare the bananas: Place the frozen banana slices in a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until the bananas become crumbly in texture.
Add remaining ingredients: Add the almond milk, almond butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender with the crumbly bananas.
Blend to creamy consistency: Blend the mixture again until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Adjust sweetness: Taste the mixture and add 1–2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Blend briefly to combine.
Serve or freeze: Serve immediately as a soft-serve ice cream or transfer to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours if you desire a firmer, scoopable texture.
Enjoy: Scoop into bowls and enjoy your nutritious and delicious healthy ice cream.

Notes

Add cocoa powder to create a chocolate version of the ice cream.
Blend in berries or frozen mango for a fruity twist.
You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter if preferred.
