Stunning, right? Ice cream made of frozen bananas is a winner! I must admit, I was a little skeptical when seeing this on Pinterest, but trust me, the end result is fantastic, a must try for everyone, especially since:

  1. It’s A very easy to make recipe. It basically contains one ingredient for the actual ice cream. You just need a blender and that’s it! You can of course add other delicious stuff to improve it. I added peanut butter, because I just don’t think one could turn down “peanut butter banana” anything!
  2. It’s super fast! The ice cream takes like 5 minutes to make. The Frozen Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches were ready in about 20 minutes or so! I choose to prepare a more complex recipe for this post, since I usually just open the freezer, grab the frozen bananas and whip the “Ice cream”.
  3. It is extremely healthy. I mean, hello! Bananas! A lot of nutritional benefits, as you know! We talked about that when I shared with you the versatility of bananas in a clean eating kitchen, as it successfully substitutes many bad ingredients. I used this amazing swap in my Peanut Butter Banana Muffins and in the Pancakes recipe.
  4. It`s really tasty! You will never know it’s not actual ice cream. Minus the artificial ingredients.

No ice cream machine! No bake! If you are really organized, like I am, you will never be caught with out a bag of frozen bananas in your fridge. Never again. Just in case you need a healthy midnight snack. Or an late dessert. Or a yummy breakfast. Whatever!

Ok…You got me! Fine, I love Ice Cream! I can take on a half a kilo of my favorite with no problems. I just choose not to (with great difficulty I might add!). Lucky for me, I discovered this guilt free ice cream, made of frozen bananas.

If you want more from this delicious treat, things become really fun! For me it was when I realized it totally needs peanut butter. And almonds. And chocolate. And the list could go on and on! And then, I remembered how much Gabi likes Ice cream sandwiches. Plus, I already imagined how the photos will look. So that`s how the Frozen Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches recipe was born.

Since I was not going to turn on the oven to bake cookies for the sandwiches, I went with a “no bake cookie recipe”, using a blender and the basic ingredients I use to make the granola bars: oats, almonds, dates. And chocolate, of course!

I used cookie cutters for the dough, in different sizes, so I could capture the photos I had in mind. Don`t stress to much over that, the Frozen Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches will be over before you know it and it really won`t matter if the sandwiches were similar in shape or size.

In another train of thoughts, Gabi was so excited when he walked into the kitchen to see what I`m up to, that he decided we should decorate the ice cream sandwich cake with grated Oreos. So, that`s how my clean eating, Frozen Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches got the Oreo treatment! I don`t recommend it though! Things get really messy as you can tell for yourselves and the calorie count sky rockets! Gabi regretted it badly 5 minutes later, when he started to peel off the Oreo layer off the sandwiches.
