Healthier Ice Cream Recipe
What are your favorite healthy ice cream recipes? I'm looking for something that would cut the fat out of my typical ice cream starter, so we can have homemade ice cream and still feel relatively healthy in this heat.

Take several bananas, depending on the serving size you want. Slice 'em and stick 'em in the freezer for about 8 hours.
Take them out and put them in your food processor until smooth.
You can add vanilla exract to make it more vanilla-y but I swear, it does not taste like bananas.
You can also leave them in the freezer for longer (I always have a tuppy full in my freezer) but you may need to add a small amount of liquid during the blending process to make it less powdery. Any kind of milk will do. I've done everything from cream (so decadent!) to homemade almond milk (keeps it healthy).
A few chocolate chips and the berry of your choice makes it a "sundae!"
Also great for turning smoothies into milkshakes.

Also, I've been known to dump regular milk and flavorings into my ice cream maker when i've been in desperate need of ice cream. I take it out when it's slushy. it doesn't keep very well, but it does satify the craving.
