Have you ever tried making your own dairy-free ice cream? Using frozen bananas and a few simple ingredients you can make a tasty nice cream treat filled with flavor and free of guilt. 

Banana nice cream may be one of the best snacks ever! You get a creamy bowl of goodness without refined sugars and unhealthy add-ins. Feel refreshed with this tangy and sweet variety including stomach settling ginger and loads of vitamin C. You can enjoy this delicious lemon ginger nice cream any time of the day — even for breakfast!

A closer look at what’s inside:

Bananas

Believe it or not, the texture of a frozen banana is very similar to ice cream. Bananas make up the base of this dairy-free ice cream adding natural sweetness, potassium, vitamin B6, and vitamin C.

Lemon

I love lemon and sour things! You likely know that lemon is loaded with vitamin C — with 1 fruit providing over 50% of your daily-recommended intake. 

Ginger

Ginger contains many beneficial compounds that exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-tumor properties. One of which is gingerol, a powerful substance that has been used medicinally for centuries. Studies have suggested that ginger can be effective in preventing and treating chronic disease

Dairy-Free Milk or Yogurt

Use your favorite dairy-free milk or yogurt in this recipe. I opt to use plain and unsweetened yogurt to let the other flavors stand out. Make sure you check the sugar content of your yogurt before purchasing — some varieties are packed with added sugars.
