Rainbow  Nice cream

A super healthy way to make your own ice cream using ripe bananas and odd bits of frozen fruit, also good for people with allergy.


Ingredients
Ripe bananas (broken up and frozen)
Other fresh or frozen fruit,
Coconut milk, yoghurt or milk just a little to mix.

You will need a food processor to make this

Method

Take your pre frozen banana chunks  and which ever fruit you choose :
Mango for orange
Strawberry for red
Blueberry for purple
Plain banana for yellow
Spinach or pea for green(you may want to sweeten this with a little maple syrup or any other sweetener)
Place your banana (about 1 banana per colour), and your fruit in the food processor, along with a couple of spoonfuls of yoghurt or milk. Turn on, it will be very noisy, blend till smooth. Continue with as many different fruits as you have. Place in a container either in stripes or swirls.
Enjoy!
If you refreeze it goes very hard so remove from the freezer 10mins before you intend to use it.
