Homemade Banana Ice Cream (the lazy way)

I have recently discovered how to make ridiculously easy banana ice cream at home thanks to the lovely kitchen lady on Disney Junior who comes on and bores my kid in between rounds of Jake and Mickey.  It seriously is easy.  Unless you want to get fancy, all you need is bananas!

Ingredients:
Um, bananas.  Probably about a half dozen.

Directions:
Peels and slice bananas.  Place in freezer long enough for them to get nice and frozen.  I used a freezer bag overnight,

Remove from freezer and place in a food processor (don't use a blender) and run it until the bananas start to look creamy.  This one is fun for the kids because it starts as little chopped bits then transforms into what looks like soft serve.  

You can add a little milk in if you think it looks dry or needs some liquid but it's not necessary.  I put in some almond milk and a little vanilla extract and it tasted just like ice cream.  But so much easier and healthy!

You can also get creative and mix in your own ingredients such as cocoa powder, strawberries, etc.

Fun and yum!
