Easy-peasy home made ice cream....

.....just in time for summer! So one of my friends (thanks Meghan Henderson!) blogged about making home made ice cream and I was like yeah right. But the thing is it literally takes 5 (ok maybe a little more) minutes and absolutely no effort! Take a banana (or two) slice them up and put them in the freezer for about an hour. Then put them in a blender - add about 2 Tablespoons of almond milk (or coconut or skim milk) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and blend until the consistancy of a smoothie. You may need to add a little more milk if you need to to get the blades going, depending on how frozen the slices are. Pour the mix into a bowl that you can stick in the freezer for about 30 minutes to let it thicken and freeze again. I like to add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the top.  Then take out and enjoy! Yep, told ya it was easy!
