An Easy Frozen Banana Ice Cream Recipe

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Northeastern chapter.

This simple frozen banana ice cream recipe will hit the spot every time. I used this recipe every other night during quarantine, and it stopped me from buying weekly tubs of ice cream. It’s also super fun to make with friends and family members!

But, what I love the most about this recipe is that it satisfies your sweet-tooth craving while helping you stay semi-healthy.
