Chocolate Banana Paleo Ice Cream Recipe

It's not often that I share a recipe here on Two It Yourself and even more rare that it's a Paleo recipe, but this one I just couldn't keep to myself.   If you're wondering what the frickety frack is Paleo it's often referred to as the "caveman diet."  My husband and I have been Paleo for about 5 months and while it was a tough transition (I consider it more a lifestyle than a diet), I love it now despite no dairy, grains, processed foods/sugar, or peanut butter.

But what do you do when you're paleo and in desperate need of an ice cream fix? You know what they say about invention, right?  Necessity is the mother of invention and believe me this mother was in need of some ice cream like asap.  I tried to guilt my husband into getting me a carton of cheat ice cream (it didn't work) and we were all out of Coconut Bliss, but we did have some frozen bananas.  That would work...oh and believe me it did!  And so here is my Chocolate Banana Coconut Ice Cream:

Ingredients: 

• 1 Frozen Banana
• 1 tbs almond butter (I like Barney Butter Smooth Almond Butter)
• 1 tbs unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 tbs mini Enjoy Life chocolate chips

Instructions: 

1. Place all ingredients into a food processor. 
2. Mix until the banana turns into mush and the ingredients form a well-blended frozen ball of goodness.   
3. Enjoy!
