Banana Cashew-Vegan Ice Cream

This is the one time it’s okay to deceive your mother. Blending frozen bananas and cashew butter creates a creamy, sumptuous “ice cream” that doesn’t miss the dairy. Mom will have no clue it’s healthy and you get bonus points for making homemade dessert.

• 3 tablespoons cashew butter (no sugar added)
• 5 frozen bananas
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch cinnamon
• Chopped cashews (optional topping)
• Coconut flakes (optional topping)
• Organic cacao nibs (optional topping)

1. Combine cashew butter, bananas, vanilla and cinnamon in a Vitamix and blend until creamy consistency. Serve topped with cashews, coconut flakes or cacao nibs.

You can pre-make ice cream and keep in freezer. Defrost 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
