Instructions

  • Put frozen banana chunks, plant milk, and vanilla into the blender or food processor, plus any add-ins desired. Blend. Add more plant milk if its too thick and needs a little more liquid to get it blended.
  • Blend until smooth. Its a lot like soft-serve at this point. If you want it firmer, scrape into a freezer-safe container and freeze about an hour.
