Banana Swirl Icecream

My daughter is obsessed with Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood on PBS. And by obsessed, I mean ooooobsessed. Bolded, underlined, spelled weirdly-The works. I completely attribute her being potty trained to Daniel Tiger. Needless to say, I’m obsessed with the show as well. Anyway, on one of the episodes it’s all about trying new food because they might taste good. Of course, there’s a catchy jingle with it, and that song is like magic when sung during dinnertime. One of the “new foods” they make in this particular episode is Banana Swirl ice cream. Every since we saw the episode, Eloise (my almost 3 year old) has been talking about making it nonstop. After months of begging, we finally go around to it today! So, I thought I’d share with you the very complex recipe so that you can share it with your littles, as well. Or-Maybe just fill your need for ice cream even though you’re on a diet? Either way, this recipe is a keeper. First things first, you’ll need to gather your ingredients. Seriously. Bananas. That’s all. A blender helps, too-But, I’m sure if you don’t have one you could totally mash those by hand. Then, you’re going to need to enlist the help of a very cute toddler. Have them peel the bananas while you chop them into 1-2 inch slices. Once they’re all chopped, just throw them in a bag and put them in the freezer for a few hours. After they are all frozen, take them out of the freezer, stick ‘em in a blender, and go to town blending until they are smooth. Then, serve it up (… Don’t judge me for my styrofoam bowls, okay? All our stuff is still in storage. It’s a rough life!) Easy and healthy, right? Thank you, Daniel! And, because I have been wanting to try out this recipe plugin, here’s a printable version of the recipe. I mean, incase you can’t remember all the steps or something!
