Holy Moly: Chocolate-Banana "Nice" Cream
My fingers are still sticky from licking the bowl of this one: an "ice cream" with only three ingredients, no dairy, no bad fats, and about 1/1000 of the calories. This is some damn crazy talk. My brilliant cousin Joanna gave me the original idea, and I added chocolate and almond butter

Yes--that streak IS where I licked the bowl. |
Before you start in on me about how someone whose New Year's resolution involved eating kale cannot POSSIBLY know good ice cream, let me make one thing clear: although I enjoy healthy food, I LIVE for ice cream. I keep a spoon in my car just so I can crack into some Chubby Hubby on the way home from the store and I've been known to plow through a gallon of Moose Tracks in a single day. Once, BF Kef stared into my freezer for about 6 minutes, completely shocked that the two gallons of ice cream he had left there just three days ago were now nowhere to be found.
(Wow- re-reading that paragraph makes me realize I am exactly one pint of mint chip away from being a guest on an upcoming Dr. Phil episode. The point is-- I know my damn ice cream.)
So, suffice to say I am thrilled to find a treat that is just as delicious as ice cream, without the pesky sugar, fat, and otherwise processed crap. Plus, I can make this stuff without the checkout clerk giving me that look that says, "...wait, but weren't you just here last night for a gallon of ice cream?"
