Simple & Healthy Banana Ice Cream for Kids

ABCs of Vegetables & Fruits Book with Homemade Strawberry Cheesecake Banana Ice Cream at B-InspiredMama.com

Do your kids eat enough fruits and vegetables?  I won’t lie; I know my don’t!  So I’m always looking for ways to get them eating healthier.  In the past I’ve tried a sticker reward chart, a fun video about fruits and vegetables, and a color food taste test.  They’ve all helped, but it’s a continual work in progress.  So I was really excited to be sent a great children’s book promoting fruits and vegetables: The ABCs of Fruits and Vegetables and Beyond.  And I was even more excited about the simple and healthy banana ice cream recipe inside it, but I’ll tell you more about that later.

First, let me tell you a little about the book.  The ABCs of Fruits & Vegetables & Beyond is really like two books in one.  The beginning is a fun alphabet book for kids where each letter represents a fruit or vegetable and includes a fun rhyming verse about it.  And then the last half of the book is like a learning and activity book based on each of those fruits and vegetables with fun facts, recipes, projects, and even jokes.  It’s really like a nutrition curriculum in one handy book.

Anyway, we chose to focus on B is for Banana.  And we made some really yummy and healthy banana ice cream as recommended in the book.  Here’s our spin on it…

Our banana ice cream was almost more like a smoothie because our bananas weren’t quite frozen through.  But it was still so yummy!  And awesome to know that the kids were getting in some good nutrients.
