Healthy Two Ingredient Ice Cream Dessert is the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer afternoons! Indulge your #cheesecakeinstinct and stick to your diet.
Can I just talk about the heat for a moment? OMG!!! Whew!! It has been in the mid to upper 90’s here for weeks on end with heat indexes over 100!! You go outside and it nearly takes your breath away 😯 I am so excited to be heading off to Park City on Sunday for the trip that my financé won through his work. The temperatures there will top out in the mid to upper 70’s 😛 But until then with all this heat, I have been craving cool treats in the afternoons!! Of course the first thing that comes to mind is ice cream, but that will definitely not fit into the “wedding diet,” so what is a girl to do?
Today I am going to share with you two little secrets that I have found that will indulge your sweet tooth and cool you off in this crazy heat while keeping you on track with your diet. Y’all are going to love me for this one 😉 The first is a Two Ingredient Ice Cream that is vegan, healthy and oh so creamy and yummy!
Creamy, rich ice cream made out of just two simple ingredients: frozen bananas and chocolate almond milk!
I like my ice cream to have more of the soft serve consistency that you see here. You could also transfer to an airtight container and freeze until solid to have an ice cream that is more of the “normal” consistency.
Now the “ice cream” is perfectly lovely by itself, but if you really want to satisfy your sweet tooth, take it up a notch and mix-in a fun add-in 😆 My second little secret to satisfying your sweet tooth is to indulge your #cheesecakeinstincts with Fiber One Cheesecakes!
I found these little gems at my last trip to Publix and was intrigued to try them out, so I picked up a box of the Strawberry and a box the Salted Caramel. I did save a little money by taking advantage of these savings from the Ready Plan Save Coupon Website (y’all know that this frugal gal loves to save money). You can take advantage of these coupons from Publix from 7/16/15 – 7/29/15.
I mixed the Fiber One Salted Caramel Cheesecake into my “ice cream” and it was a fabulous addition to my cool treat! The sweet and salty combination was right up my alley 🙂
These Fiber One Cheesecakes are great snacks by themselves too 😆 Each delicious cheesecake bar comes in at only 150 calories and has 5 grams of fiber. I plan on packing them in my carry-on bag for our trip to Park City. That way I have healthy snacks for the trip and don’t have to pay those excessive airport and resort prices.
Before we get to the recipe our friends at Publix and Fiber One helped me with a $15 PayPal Giveaway so you can try these delicious and healthy cheesecake bars for yourself.
- 4 medium ripe bananas
- ¼ cup chocolate almond milk
- 2 Fiber One Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars
- Peel bananas and slice into even-sized coins.
- Place sliced bananas on a baking sheet or in a glass bowl and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight.
- Once bananas are frozen solid, place in a food processor. Add chocolate almond milk and process.
- It will take a couple of minutes, but eventually the "ice cream" will become smooth and creamy.
- Once creamy, break up the cheesecake bars and add to the food processor.
- Pulse a couple of times to incorporate into the "ice cream."
- Serve immediately if you want a soft serve consistency to your "ice cream" or place into an air tight contain and freeze until solid.
Very yummy!
The Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie looks amazing!
That does sound great Jess!! Peanut butter and chocolate are a great combo!!
I have never heard of this brand or product before, but I will be checking it out shortly! What a very unusual and unique way of making ice cream!
OMG We are making ice cream for the first time. I am currently in the “churning” stage so to come across this post is like fate. Thank you for this recipe. It will definitely come in handy. 🙂
LOL Cia!! I hope your ice cream turns out just fab!!
Ice cream is my weakness, but my cooking skills are a little weak too. Thank you for sharing this two healthy ingredient recipe that I can handle preparing.
I would definitely like to try the cheesecake bar. I love cheesecake! Unfortunately I am allergic to bananas so can’t make that ice creamy treat–it looks so good. I would probably eat them just the way they are.
I’ve never seen these before – they sound delish! I’ll have to look for them in the store.
They are brand new, Joann, and sooo delish!!
I only drink soy milk (no dairy) but just have not tried almond milk yet. This cold treat on a super hot day like this is inspiring me to try it!! I already have the fiber one bars in my pantry (I love the lemon ones) so it is meant to be. 😉
I love almond milk!! Much better than soy IMHO 🙂 I hope you enjoy the dessert and I love the lemon ones too 🙂
Yumm! This looks so good and I love how simple it is. It’s so much easier to try a recipe that only has a couple of ingredients.
This looks creamy and delicious. I love quick and easy recipes like this. I can’t wait to make this.
That sounds so easy! I have a huge sweet tooth, so I am super excited to give this a shot. Plus, the Fiber One bars included means it’s basically health food!
These fiber one bars sounds scrumptious! They are a perfect snack for on the go!
That ice cream looks amazing! I have been having the biggest cheesecake cravings lately. I’m totally picking up some of those Salted Caramel Fiber one Cheesecake bars! Yum!
It’s been ridiculously hot here, too. This sounds like such a great treat for a hot day!
I’m with you too on the soft serve consistency of ice cream. I love that you added the fiber one bars to it! I bet it tastes heavenly!
Wow – this looks so good and so easy! I can’t wait to try out this recipe! And the addition of the Fiber One bars is just awesome!
Your treat sounds good. I’d love to try the new Fiber One Chocolate Chip Cookies.
This looks like a fantastic, yet easy to make, snack! My grandkids loves homemade ice cream and is a healthier alternative, thank you for sharing! 🙂
