Gayla's Magazine is always looking for the solutions to our busy lifestyles. One of the challenges that we all face is eating choices. How to eat right while enjoying life! And all the temptations that waylay us day by day to indulge in, don't help us to control our eating habits, or build our health structures. So I have been looking into solutions for this problem of eating well. Thus Gayla's Cuisine has different ideas that are tried and true recipes that taste great, and bring good health to our bodies as well.
The present challenge is to find a good recipe for ice cream! How to enjoy this summer time treat without all the 'strings attached' such as fat, or sugar or the artificial ingredients that are put into ice cream these days. Well do I have a solution for you! This creation is fat free! It's sugar free! Has no preservatives or artificial ingredients or fake sweeteners added! Is quick and very easy to make! You have got to try this!
Take some bananas - about 6 or 7 for your first batch. Slice them up into small slices and place them on a non stick cookie sheet.
Cover them with waxed paper - no plastic wrap which can leach into your food (did you know that?) and place them in the freezer over night.
Right before serving - put the frozen bananas into a food processor and turn it on. Let the bananas puree until smooth. Then you can add anything you would like to it. Cinnamon or fruit or nuts, or even chocolate mint pieces. Of course this will change the flavor and calories somewhat but still very healthy for you. We did not add anything this time - just to see the flavor and texture first. And were we surprised!
The great taste testers were at my house so their discerning taste buds got to sample it to see if it would be kid friendly.
They both loved it as you can tell. And even ask for seconds - now this is an ice cream I will be happy to give them as much as they want!
And to show you what the end result looks like? Here it is with a drizzle of organic chocolate syrup on top. Mmmmmm good. The taste is excellent, and the texture is just like the 'other' kind of ice cream.
This ice cream is a real winner and one we will use from now on.
I tried this recipe and it was so easy to make and it tastes great. It was so easy I think that it would be a great rainy day project for Destiny! With all the fresh fruits available the possible flavors are endless. I am looking forward to mango ice cream, I'll let you know how it is.
Thank You for finding all these great recipes.
Love Ya

I tried this tonight for my family who loves ice cream shakes. I added a little milk when it was in the processor. They loved it. It was fun just trying out something new for the family. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us all.
