Equipment

  • 1 Ninja Creami ice cream maker

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas sliced
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup

Instructions

  • In your pint container, combine sliced banana, milk and agave. Stir to combine (it's OK for the banana to remain in chunks). Cover the pint and freeze for 24 hours.
  • Use your Ninja Creami machine on “Ice Cream” setting.
  • Remove the pint and take a look at your ice cream. If you think the texture is a bit chalky (or not as creamy as you want), make a hole in the center of the ice cream and add a tablespoon of water or milk. Then, use the “re-spin” function.
  • We recommend adding sprinkles, chocolate chips or sliced bananas to the top. Enjoy your ice cream right away!

Notes

  • Add Protein - Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to any mixture for high-protein ice cream.
  • When to Serve - It’s best to spin Creami ice creams right before eating. If you freeze them again for more than a few hours, you may find the ice cream is hard again and want to use the “re-spin” function.
  • Label - If you make multiple flavors at once, be sure to label each flavor.
  • Flavors - Add a half teaspoon of flavored extract (such as cherry, almond or peppermint) for a flavored variation. You can also add cocoa powder (I would start with 1 tablespoon) to create a chocolate variation.
