Healthy “Ice Cream” Bars

Summertime tends to throw my diet all over the place. When it is hot outside, I love to reach for the ice cream and skip the cooking.  My kiddos also like to fill up on the popsicles, ice cream, and slurpees so I have been trying to come up with some healthy alternatives for us to enjoy.   I made up some of these healthy ice cream bars one day when the boys had some friends over for a playdate and they went through them like crazy!

These ice cream sandwiches are very simple to make and the kids can have lots of fun coming up with their own variations.  To make the “ice cream” simply blend up 2 ripe, frozen bananas in your blender or food processor until it turns soft and creamy {like a soft served ice cream texture}.  Spoon the mixture between 2 graham crackers and place in the freezer for approximately 20-30 minutes {makes 6 sandwiches}.

My oldest is a huge sprinkles fan, so we added some colorful sprinkles to these ones.  They also taste wonderful with peanut butter {or Nutella!}spread over the graham crackers and, of course, adding a little chocolate is always a yummy option too if you are not as concerned with the “healthy” part! 🙂
