Ingredients
2 large banana, slice and freeze
1/2 tsp vanilla extract, add a splash

2. Add a splash of vanilla extract and 1 Tbsp of Fat Free Milk, ,Almond Milk or Chocolate Almond milk and blend away until smooth and creamy. You may have to add 1 additional Tbsp of milk if its too thick. Looks just like ice cream, huh?
3. Heat 1 Tbsp of your favorite caramel sauce (it spreads further if its hot) and drizzle with a little whipped cream.
Variations
Chocolate Banana Ice Cream - Add 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream - Add 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder & 1 Tbsp Peanut Butter Powder

Hmmm - I was going to buy a Yonanas, but if I have a blender, apparently that does the same thing. I think you just saved me $40.
I'll have to try it out. Thanks for sharing. I LOVE LOVE LOVE bananas. Anything banana. Even the artificial banana flavor. Can't get enough.
I will have to give this a try, just have to get some bananas in the freezer. Thanks for the info, always glad to find low point but wonderful food!
Ok I just got done eating this. It was pretty good. I, however, have discovered that my blender doesn't work :-( But, no fear. I have a food processor.
Thanks for saving me $40 :-)
I tried this today and it was amazing! A great way to keep ice cream at bay from my three year old!
Having read this I believed it was extremely enlightening.
I appreciate you taking the time and energy to put this content together.
I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading
and posting comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!

I used to prepare my 'fake ice cream' with yogurt, a banana, some lemon juice and a spoon of honey. :)
(recipe from the Smurfs toy -hand operated- ice cream machine. I received it in elementary school, and now that I'm going towards 27 I still use it..^^)
I add a tablespoon of Nutella to five sliced bananas.

I slice and freeze five bananas, and, after smashing into lush banana goodness with a splash of vanilla, I get wild and add a tablespoon of Nutella.
