Wedding Guests - The Dainty Squid

Kaylah is one of my absolute favourite people and I am so happy to have her as a Wedding Guest today. Ivan and I had the pleasure of meeting Kaylah and Kevin back in May and we are so excited to see them again in July! And yes, Kaylah and Kevin are as awesome as you think they are...maybe even more so!

Hi Everyone! I'm Kaylah and I blog over at The Dainty Squid. I'm so excited Elycia (my real life friend, I will brag about this until the cows come home!) asked me to do a guest post while she's busy doing wedding things!

Today I'm going to be sharing with you one of my new favorite recipes that is absolutely perfect for this gorgeous summer weather! Banana, Peanut Butter and Chocolate (the holy trifecta of treats!) Vegan Ice Cream. It's one of the easiest recipes you could ever make, you only need 5 ingredients, a blender and your freezer!
Banana, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Vegan Ice Cream!
You'll need:
2 bananas* (of average size)
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 generous tablespoons peanut butter
5 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons soy milk

Put all ingredients in the blender and mix until they become a smoothie like texture. Pour into a plastic container with lid and place in freezer. Check on and stir hourly until it becomes the perfect texture, which is completely at your discretion. You can eat it like a milkshake after about 2 hours, devour it like ice cream after 5 or 6 hours or just drink it straight out of the blender!

*a note about bananas - yellow bananas with few to no spots are preferable, spotty bananas work just as well!

Enjoy!
xoxo

    I just made this! But I must say, you forgot a pretty important step. 'Lick the blender completely clean'! I only had chocolate soy milk, but that worked out great. It's in the freezer now, I love mixing it because then I get to lick the spoon hahaha

    soooo yummy!!! I made a batch...had a little taste (like cbryan by little taste I mean licked my food processor clean!)...and stuck it in the freezer. Just couldn't wait for it to freeze though so I ended up scooping out a couple spoonfuls before it finished freezing :)

    ps...i threw in some dark chocolate chunks too...YUM!

    Would this recipe work using the plastic bag method of making ice cream?
