Non-Dairy Banana Tahini Ice Cream Recipe

A healthy frozen treat to enjoy all year.

Why are there always one or two sad bananas that get a little brown and sit forlornly in your fruit basket at the end of the week? Sometimes I love turning those mushy specimen into the perfect banana zucchini bread or banana pumpkin bread. But summertime is a bit too warm to be baking all the time.

Instead, chop your bananas into pieces and turn them into a healthy frozen treat. Then add some good tahini and chocolate chips —and get ready to nosh. It’s healthy, non-dairy AND gluten-free. Vegan? Just substitute maple syrup or agave for the honey. Here’s a short video making our healthy banana tahini ice cream— full recipe is below!

Wondering, wait – What is tahini? Read this!
