Who doesn’t like ice cream? Here’s my dairy free yet it is so creamy the texture is like a double churn ice cream. It even fools distinguished palates. Never letting bananas go to waste this is another go to recipe and dessert that’s healthy and so easy to make. You could omit the spices and just make plain Banana ice cream if you desire. Enjoy!

5 Ripe Bananas, sliced and frozen
1/4 cup fresh squeezed Lemon
1 Tsp. ground Cinnamon
