Second Step

Alright, now let's have some fun! Let's make healthy raw ice cream good enough to eat for breakfast! This is my kid's favorite and I sure enjoy asking them how many people they think are eating ice cream for breakfast like they are. It is also great for night time, day time, friend time, and date time. This recipe was initally borrowed from Serene Allison, in her Rejuvinate Your Life, but I changed it a bit. As you move further down your healthy eating road, this is the perfect place to sneak healthy extras like spiralina and coconut oil. In a blender or food processor place-

2-3 very ripe, frozen bananas (peeled before freezing)
Handful of frozen fruit per person
dash of honey or maple syrup
splash of vanilla
Milk filled half-way over fruit

Blend blend blend. Dance dance dance. We serve this for breakfast with toast.

Variations: try adding coconut and chopped nuts on top, for vanilla ice cream, just add extra bananas and no other fruit, and if you are reaaly wild and crazy add frozen (canned) pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and sub coconut milk for regular milk. We LOVE to add cocoa powder occasionally for chocolate ice cream after dinner.
