This healthy version of ice cream is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
Healthy Banana Ice Cream full of Chocolate Fudge Chunks!

I’ve got another ice cream recipe for you that doesn’t require an ice cream maker!  Although, this one is a little different.  When I was in the midst of a baking rampage a few weeks ago, Matt asked if I could try to make something healthy.  Well, wish granted!  This isn’t your typical ice cream, and I’m not going to lie, it’s not as creamy as the fat-filled regular version.  But when you want a sweet frozen treat that is on the healthier side, this banana ice cream is perfect.

I’m not the first person to make banana ice cream in a blender, I’ve seen it done about four million times before.  But for my purposes, I wanted a flavor that felt a little more indulgent and didn’t leave my sweet tooth and cravings completely unsatisfied.  The fudge ripple and chocolate chunks through definitely do the trick!

Healthy Banana Ice Cream loaded with chocolate, no ice cream maker needed!
