This Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream will be your new, favorite, summer treat! The best part is there is no ice cream maker necessary and only contains 4 ingredients. Grab a spoon and dig right in!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Silk. The opinions and text are all mine.
The weather is getting warmer and my sweet tooth is kicking into high gear. If you haven't tried "nice cream" yet, you seriously need to.
Nice cream is basically a healthier version of ice cream or frozen yogurt made with frozen bananas. And it's insanely delicious.
I love to have healthier dessert options in the house for whenever a sweet craving hits. I you are looking for more healthy frozen treats, you will love these No Bake Frozen Yogurt Almond Butter Cups, Sugar Free Raspberry Popsicles, Strawberry Frozen Yogurt and these Pina Colada Popsicles!
All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!
Recipe Tips
I have been trying to cut back on my carbs and sugars and increase healthy fats to avoid any weight gain. I haven't been able to meal plan as I typically do which you all know is crucial to weight management. Since I am barely cooking right now, my diet isn't as clean as I am used to.
I used to make nice cream all last summer. It's so easy! I make it in my Vitamix and it's so creamy and refreshing.
So far this summer, I know it's not's technically summer yet, but I have been craving sweets and I totally forgot about my nice cream!
Why You Should Make This Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
The beauty of this ice cream (besides the fact that it's so easy!) is that you probably have all or most of the ingredients already. I always keep very ripe bananas frozen in my refrigerator (you never know when a banana bread craving strikes!) and I always have the other ingredients on hand as well.
Pretty much any time you open my refrigerator you will find maple syrup, peanut butter and many varieties of Silk milk.
I chose Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk to make this ice cream, but really any variety would be fantastic. Plant-based Silk is so unbelievably creamy, it definitely is the key to how rich and velvety smooth this ice cream is!
Thank goodness this is easy because I definitely have no time for anything these days!
