{Paleo+Vegan} Blueberry Ice Cream

Summertime is almost over, but that doesn't mean my latest obsession with making ice cream has to end! This weekend I made blueberry banana vegan ice cream. I know. I know. A mouthful. Just call it ice cream and be done with it, I guess. We mixed some frozen banana and blueberries together and added some chocolate chips to it...because everything goes better with chocolate chips. And woo hoo. Simple vegan ice cream without an ice cream machine. Eventually, I will cave and buy an ice cream machine. It's inevitable.

The first time I made this, I forgot to slice the bananas, and while we were able to blend it all right-- I would definitely slice the bananas before freezing them.  The flavor is the ultimate duo of berries and bananas. It really is. No added sugar or anything gross. Just fruit, nuts, and chocolate. Smile. It's ice cream.

The Recipe
Ingredients:

• 5 bananas sliced, frozen
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1/4 cup almonds, chopped or in pieces
• 4 tablespoons chocolate chips
• splash of soy  milk

Directions:
​

1. Blend the frozen bananas together until creamy. Scrape the creamy goodness to the bottom of the blender. 
2. Add in the blueberries and  milk. Blend it until everything is smooth and incorporated. Be patient in this step.
3. Remove the blender blade, or transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe bowl. Fold in the nuts and chocolate.
4. Freeze for 5-10 minutes. Stir and serve.
