Healthy no-churn chocolate ice cream make your favorite guilty pleasure, well… not guilty! I love how easy it is to make gluten-free recipes for healthy treats.
My eleven month old has a chocolate ice cream stash on her upper lip. Now, normally I’d agree that this makes me a bad parent, but this time, it’s actually healthy ice cream, so I don’t feel bad.
Gabriel and I like to go out occasionally and get ice cream, or a milk shake to share. It’s kind of been our default date night plan our entire married life. But we always seem to feel slightly crummy afterward, and more and more, we find that we like staying in and making our own ice cream.
In fact, we even like the way our own healthy no-churn ice cream tastes better! And it’s awesome to be able to indulge in a guilt-free sweet treat that doesn’t make us feel crummy afterward.
All you need to whip up a batch of this healthy ice cream, is a blender or food processor, and about five minutes.
We started out using milk to thin the frozen bananas, but lately I’ve been using eggs instead in order to boost the protein. I’ve even taken to using chocolate whey protein powder
I love all versions of this ice cream, but I do find that the eggs give a slightly smoother, creamier texture.
