Banana ice-cream variations

Peanut allergy a problem, or just don’t enjoy peanut butter? Try a different nut butter such as almond or macadamia, or half a cup of another fruit such as strawberry or mango, depending on what’s in season. A little sugar-free maple syrup is also delicious, or enjoy this banana ice-cream au naturel (don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it!).
