Who doesn't love ice cream?! I mean even lactose intolerant people like ice cream, they just can't have it! Well, we have been on this sugar free diet for a few weeks now, and I am really trying to be creative with our food choices so the kids don't feel like they don't get the same "fun" foods to eat now and then. So, to that end I hit up pintrest and found (Drum roll please!):
A step by step, pictures included, instructions on how to make ice cream from bananas!! That's it, guys, no milk, no heavy cream, no sugar, no additives, no preservatives and no food dyes. Now, I did add sugar free, fat free chocolate pudding mix, because it seems that's all my son wants to eat, is chocolate. In the link above it says to slice your bananas and freeze in a single layer for 1-2 hours, then use a food processor to get the desired result. They also say they've tried adding cocoa powder and peanut butter and it was yummy, which sounds like it would be! I just froze my bananas for 1 hour, but next time I will freeze them for a full 2 hours before making the "ice cream". They just weren't solid enough and so I had to add a cup of ice to get an icy texture. I did also add a dash of milk, just because it sounded good to me. :) I AM pregnant, you know! :) You can see Sissy girl here, she loved it, but that was no surprise! Bubba was not interested in eating today, so we will try again later. He's my true gauge of whether or not something is going to work. :) The cool part is it comes out of the food processor as a soft serve consistency, and whatever is left over you can freeze for a hand scoop consistency.
So, we had so much fun with our ice cream, we decided to try it as a hair dye..... Yes! That's my girl! LOL! What can you do but laugh? Although, I was NOT laughing when I first spotted her wiping her chocolate handfuls in her hair, because I really just wanted to cry, to be honest. But, I pulled up my big girl panties, and gave her a bath instead. :)
