1-Ingredient Low Calorie Banana Ice Cream {Simply Filling}

WW Recipe of the Day: 1-Ingredient Banana "Ice Cream"

I first learned about this simple low calorie banana ice cream in a Weight Watchers meeting several years ago. It was all the rage.

I love bananas. I always have them stashed in the freezer.

As soon as they get overripe, if I'm not in the mood to turn them into banana bread, I unpeel them, toss them into a ziploc bag and put them in the freezer, where I most often use them in smoothies.

So, I can't explain why it took so long to try this simple delicious recipe.

Now that I've finally gotten around to making it, I want to help spread the word. This 1-ingredient low calorie banana ice cream is the bomb!

Recipe Notes

All it takes is a few minutes in a food processor (affiliate link) or high-powered blender (affiliate link) (I used my Vitamix (affiliate link)) to turn frozen bananas into a sweet, creamy, rich and delicious dessert that tastes like soft serve ice cream.

Alternatively, you can whip up a bowl of this deliciousness with a Yonanas (affiliate link) frozen dessert maker.

If you prefer a firmer texture, you can let it stiffen up in the freezer for a little while. (If it gets too hard, just let it soften up on the counter for about 10 minutes before digging in.)

This 1 ingredient low calorie banana ice cream has a lot going for it...

It's quick and easy and perfect for summer.

It's low-calorie, low-fat, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan!

Oh, and did I mention it works with the Weight Watchers Simply Filling Technique, if you skip the add-ins?

Unfortunately, chocolate chips are NOT Simply Filling!

Recipe Variations

This basic recipe can be modified lots of ways.

You can stir in miniature chocolate chips (like I did for the picture above), nuts, peanut butter, Nutella, or granola.

Or, combine the bananas with other frozen fruit like strawberries, blueberries, pineapple or mango.

The options are really endless once you get your creative juices flowing.

You may need a little bit of yogurt or milk when combining various fruits to achieve your desired consistency.

Please note that if you're struggling with weight loss, this is the kind of food you need to be careful of. It can be really easy to over-indulge in something that seems innocent.

While it's possible to lose weight eating a banana or two a day, it gets near impossible if you're eating them by the bunch. It is for me, anyway!!

So, I would allow myself one serving a day for 0 PointsPlus, after that I'd count the points (which is about 2 for ¼th of this recipe). Same with Simply Filling. 0 SmartPoints!! Enjoy!
