Summer has arrived and that means one thing: it’s finally acceptable to eat ice cream for every meal. Although I will never turn down a bowl of Ben & Jerry’s, I do feel the need to maintain some semblance of healthiness, and, luckily, as per usual, bananas are here to save the day.
These 4 dairy-free ice cream flavors are seriously irresistable. Not to mention, they take less than 5 minutes to whip up (and less than one minute to devour).
