This is so nice and creamy! Such a nice, refreshing dessert/snack. We had a filling dinner tonight.. baked cod fillets, garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli smothered in melted cheese... so this dessert was really nice to end a filling meal. I just want to stress that you need to make sure you dont add too much vanilla. I found that I had to add a little sugar to the recipe because it was a little bitter without it. This is a marvelous recipe! THANK YOU SO MUCH!..and thanks for helping me figure out the measurements I look forward to trying many of your recipes!!

OMG!! THIS WAS AMAZING!!! i was so hesitant to make it at first because it was so simple. my friends were over, and they were totally postive it would just be a big mess, but everyone loved it and went for seconds. and at first glance you didn't even say how many bananas or how much juice, so i reallyw asn't sure about the recipe. i used 2 medium sized banans with black freckles ( chunked and frozen, ) maybe about 2 spoons of orang juice, a tiny drop or 2 of apple juice. and i was about to use milk but my friends wouldn't let me, hehe.. i also added just a little spoonful of vanilla. and also maybe about a spoon or two of sugar, depending how sweet you like it. this texture is awesome and it is so incrediby healthy. i'll definitly be making this again maybe even ssome with berries

My favorite way to make "ice cream!" I just use a bit of water and cocoa powder to make mine chocolate. Haven't tried it with vanilla yet. Great way to satisfy one of those chocolate cravings!

This is just too weird! Who knew a frozen banana could have a soft-serve consistency! I added a splash of almond extract and some Splenda, and it's just wonderful. My kids gobbled it up. Thanks for a great recipe.

This is a great summer dessert! I've been making it a couple of times a week since getting this recipe. I use soy milk to make it a little more creamy. Its also good with cinnamon instead of vanilla.

OMG!! This was fantastic. What a revelation! I will never look at a banana the same way again. We put chocolate chips in before we puree. And sometimes a bit of ground coffee. One tip - don't freeze whole bananas like I did. Peel and chop up, then freeze. I found that the more frozen the desert was, the more ice creamy it was, so eat it right away before it turns back to mushy bananas cinderella-styley. Thanks for this wonderful recipe. We'll be making this to death!

I too added a little splenda to offset the "bite" that frozen bannana sometimes has. The kids fought me for it! Very nice flavor, my 4 year old was calling it "bannana ice cream". Definitely like soft serve. Thanks for a great way to beat my ice cream craving in a healthy way!

We do this a lot; it's always a hit with the kids! Sometimes I freeze blueberries, strawberries, etc on a cookie sheet and keep them in a bag to toss in with the banana to blend up fruit 'ice cream' smoothies, too. Low fat, low budget, high ratings! :o)

This is fabulous, healthy and oh-so-easy! The vanilla essence is a must as it lends the final product an icecream-like flavour, and tones down the banana. I used soy milk but I think regular milk would probably give an even better icecream imitation. I usually have a stash of bananas in the freezer (whole or halved) so I just slice them when I take them out of the freezer and throw them straight in the food processor. Delicious banana icecream, in less than 5 minutes, and best of all, without the guilt! Thanks Geema.
