I felt inspired by your video. I made the blueberry and chocolate recipe you made. Wow! It was soooo good. My hubby was even into it. We’ve come up with all kinds of combinations for the next time. Thanks for the great idea and inspiration!

I finally bought a Ninja about a month ago and this was the first thing I made. Love it! I buy bananas on the mark down rack and freeze them in packs of 1, 2, 3 or 4 so I can make a anything from a single serving to enough for the family. My last trip to the store’s markdown rack resulted in over 30 lbs of bananas at 19 cents a pound. The cashier looked at me like I was crazy, so I told her I had a monkey at home. LOL!!!

Oh MY GOSH! Finally got around to making this! Didn’t believe it would be so creamy and I was proven wrong – wow- that was heavenly!! I can’t believe it tastes like banana soft serve ice cream – I used my vitamix blender and it was sooo fast!!!! Thanks for the recipe!!

cannot wait to try this!! i love bananas, but they tend to get too ripe before i eat them all. this will solve that problem for me. i am on the WW program, and i was missing my ice cream. this will fill the bill i’m sure. thanks!!

Like someone mentioned above, I added Cool Whip and it was divine! I probably added too much vanilla, so the Cool Whip helped take it out of that too-sweet-to-eat zone.

Tried this out and it was great….. the next time I added half cup of frozen chocolate yogurt and half of a frozen weight watchers chocolate sponge cake, made it 3 pts and it was so worth it. Love your site Roni, have tried many recipes. They have all been wonderful.

Today I ate banana soft serve at breakfast. WOW! I’m skeptical of most healthy recipes, but something this easy was hard to resist.

Sliced and froze 1 banana in a sandwich bag overnight; put frozen banana slices into my new magic bullet with 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract; pulsed several times, tapping container between pulses to move bananas back to blades, until creamy.

Apparently freezing overripe bananas gives them a lighter, wonderfully sweet flavor. Tastes similar to ice cream and, I’m sure, would benefit from adding flavor extracts, pureed or chopped fruits, nuts, spices and herbs, chocolate and all ice cream/yogurt additives. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks!

I’ve been meaning to try this out forever and I finally got around to it tonight. Both my ds9 and I loved it! My dh thought it was to “banana-y”, but that’s his loss. Thanks for posting the video, because I think I would have been too impatient with waiting for the bananas to finally get that smooth consistency if I hadn’t seen the video first.

I found the best way to make this. first of all it is an awesome idea.I used 2-3 frozen bananas cut up and then when I put them in the food processor I added 1 more unfrozen very ripe banana , it comes out perfect and ready to serve,instead of having to refreeze and wait.

I love this recipe as is and with peanut butter mixed in. The other day I wanted to add some protein so I used 2 frozen bananas, 1 c greek nonfat yogurt, 1 c frozen strawberries, and 1 t vanilla. It tasted just like frozen yogurt – YUM! Thanks for sharing, Roni! :-)

Beautiful! Can’t believe it took me so long to try it! I made a very decadent chocolate mousse and needed something to balance it out – this was perfect.

I finally tried this amazing banana ice cream! Like you, I never heard of this craze either, so I can’t believe no one ever told me how great this is! Thanks for sharing Roni!

I can’t wait to give this a try! All of my appliances are packed up right now for a move, but I know what I’ll be making once they’re set up in my new space.

I just have to add that your popping back in to tell us about the addition of the mini chocolate chips brought the biggest smile to my face. Little things like that are why you are so likeable. :)

Okay people here is the outcome…
I wrote about this on my blog this morning, but I threw some big frozen strawberries, a non frozen banana, a splash of milk and vanilla into my vitamix and used the tamper and DELISH. It wasn’t as creamy perhaps as soft serve, but it was amazing!!
