Did you eat right away or re-freeze. Is the coconut shredded or just coconut put through the blender?

[WestVirginiaRaw]

Yeah...I have found that I actually like banana icecream better than the stuff in the store. I had some last night that was super simple and really good. Two frozen bananas, sunflower seed milk (I have to use some liquid cause I am making mine in a blender), fresh mint, cocoa powder. So yummy. Also...I eat right away...has the consistency of soft serve.

I love the taste and texture of it but eating the bananas like this make my mouth itch..weird, I can eat about 3-4 banans in a day and never have issues, but when I blend them smooth it does..
Thanks for the recipe, I will try it as I am a sucker for icecream..

Just fresh mature coconut, but I'd imagine you could try using shredded if you like.
I enjoy the texture more if I freeze it for ten more minutes afterwards, but it's so yummy sometimes I can't wait.

Wow, that's so weird. Hopefully you can figure out what it is that does that.


Oh, also, if you drop in a couple of dates, the little pieces make it look like "vanilla bean" ice cream, lol.

love the banana ice cream

[Belladonna]

I agree! I love banana ice cream so much more than sugary dairy stuff.

I like to make this:

1)frozen bananas through juicer, alternating 1/2 banana with 1/2 cup of dry coconut, 1/2 banana with 1/2 cup coconut, and so on.

2)mix in desired amount of vanilla extract

3)then I put almonds through the juicer to make almond butter. I lightly mix in the almonds and some cinnamon so it creates a swirl effect. yummmm.

Hmmmm hmmmm sounds totally yummy!

Add some shavings of raw chocolate. I make one similar. I use banana, young coconut meat, raw chocolate, agave nectar or honey. COuld also add a few pieces of strawberry too.
