joy in a bowl (banana ice cream)

ok so i'm pretty sure every person who's ever been on a health kick, "lifestyle change," or whatever you want to call it, has made banana ice cream. you know, the good old standby, freeze a couple bananas, chop em up, food proccessor those suckers and magicially, ice cream happens. BUT i made a couple changes and took super artsy pics so i had to post it.

please love this as much as i do

my mom just got this rockin fujifilm camera that takes the BEST pictures ever so my photo quality should be on the rise here. iphone photograpby b gone. 

i can hear angels singing rn look at this divine creation

i really can't believe how much it looks/tastes like actual ice cream. it's a beautiful thing. i made this for breakfast a few days ago, and it was fan-tas-tic. i added frozen blackberries and vanilla extract to the first little batch on the bottom (1 banana's worth) then mixed cocoa powder, maple syrup, and coconut extract into the top layer. on top are buckwheat groats (if you've never heard of them click here. they're oprah approved everybody.) i eat mine raw or toasted, but not boiled. i used raw for this bowl of joy, then sprinkled some dark mini chocolate chips on top. 

recipe

2 bananas, frozen overnight

1 tbs cocoa powder

1 tsp maple syrup 

1/4 tsp coconut extract

1/4 cup frozen blackberries

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

do the bananas one at a time. all you have to do is cut them & throw them in the food processor (or magic bullet), then wait until they go from chunks to dippin dots to dairy queen standard soft serve. add blackberries and vanilla to one batch, and the cocoa/coconut extract/maple syrup to the other. you'll love your life. the end.

one more bc i'm so proud of these pics
