One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream (No Sugar, No Cream)

By the Healthy Plate team

Frozen bananas blended turn into a texture just like ice cream — often called "nice cream". No sugar, no cream, no ice cream machine, just a strong blender.

Perfect for summer treats and kids, and you can change the flavour every time.
