Banana Ice Cream

You've probably seen this all over Pinterest-- Creamy, smooth, rich "ice cream" out of nothing more than a frozen banana. I didn't believe it. Too good to be true, right?

How about it tastes too good to be true! The sweet stickiness of the bananas, when whipped up in the Ninja, became gooey and smooth like soft serve ice cream. It still tasted like bananas, so I rolled with it and added some Jif Natural peanut butter to the Ninja and blended it some more.

Then, over top, I drizzled strawberry and chocolate syrup. Banana split! The cool thing about this, besides it's only, like, the funnest way to eat bananas, is you can add in anything you want to change the flavor.  We did another batch and mixed in some Justin's Hazelnut Almond Butter (Not Nutella!) instead of peanut butter, and oh my God. Seriously, do it.
