'nice-cream'

This is more of an idea than a recipe as it changes everytime I make it according to the size of the bananas, how chocolately I want it, if i have berries etc. So feel free to play around with it! 

NB The picture is terrible but it tasted soooooo....good! It was a little softer than normal as I fluffed about taking a photo. 

serves 6 (cause there's 6 in my family)

ingredients

• 6-12 frozen bananas- small ones go for 2 bananas per person, if your using the insanely large supermarket variety one each is enough 
• 3/4 of a cup cacao (more or less according to chocolate tastes)
• honey to taste (you may not need any but if you do start with 1/4 cup and blend in more if needed)
• 2 avocados- totally optional but it makes the icecream creamier and adds in some good fats
• 2tbs coconut oil- again optional but adds good fats that keep everyone more satisfied
• 2tbls hemp seeds- these add a slightly nutty flavour and also extra omega 3 and 6 as well as protein and no one will notice!
• about 1/4 cup coconut cream or milk- totally optional but you may need to loosen the mixture if you don't use the avocados. 

VARIATION 1- if you don't want chocolate try blending up some berries instead of the cacao and have 'berry' nice-cream- see what I did there hahahaha...

VARIATION 2- this is more a totally different idea but straight frozen mango blended up makes a magnificent nice-cream. You can add a dollop or 2 of kefir or yoghurt for a creamier texture. 

Lots of topping variations- berries, nuts, seeds cacao nbs...go wild!

method

chuck the lot (not the toppings) in to a food processor and blend. You may need to hold it down if it starts jumping around. Getting the frozen fruit started can be tricky. 

I don't suggest a stick whizz. I burnt one out doing this. They don't seem to have the strength to do it.
