- Bananas - We'll need frozen bananas to make nice cream. Simply peel and slice the bananas into chunks - then freeze until solid. Once frozen, the the banana chunks can be blended together to make nice cream. For the best flavor, use bananas that are ripe. The sweetest ones are yellow with brown spots!
- Peanut Butter Powder - PB powder is made by removing most of the oil from roasted peanuts and grinding them into a fine powder, resulting in a low-fat, high-protein alternative to traditional peanut butter. You can use brands like PB Fit, or PB2. I used a Sugar Free PB FIt powder for this recipe
- Sugar of Choice – I used monk fruit sweetener in this recipe to keep this recipe low-sugar and low carb, but raw cane sugar, coconut, date, and maple sugars are perfectly acceptable substitutes.
- Unsweetened Almond milk - or other milk of choice.
How can frozen bananas mimic ice cream texture for nice cream?
Frozen bananas can mimic the texture of ice cream in "nice cream" because they have a naturally creamy texture when blended, similar to soft serve ice cream. When bananas are frozen, the water inside them expands and creates tiny ice crystals. When blended, the ice crystals break down and create a smooth and creamy texture, similar to that of ice cream. Additionally, the natural sweetness of bananas means that no additional sugar is needed to make nice cream. This makes nice cream a healthier and lower calorie alternative to traditional ice cream, while still satisfying cravings for a sweet, creamy dessert.

How to Make this Nice Cream Healthier
- Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, or seeds to add texture and nutrition before freezing.
- For a small protein boost, you can also add a tablespoon or two of protein powder of your choice when blending. I've tried using an unsweetened plant-based protein powder with good results.
What are some ways you can eat these?
- In a bowl or cup, drizzled with honey, maple syrup, caramel or chocolate syrup
- Stacked on a waffle or sugar cone
How to Store PB Fit Nice Cream
- This nice cream needs to be stored in the freezer and tastes best within a few days, but it can be frozen for up to 3 months. For the best nice cream consistency, take the container out of the freezer and let sit out at room temperature for 10 mins when you're ready to eat. If it's in a microwaveable container, you can also microwave it for 15 seconds until softened.
Final Tips
- Use ripened bananas for the best results!
- While a food processor will give you the best consistency for the nice cream, you can also use a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix) that comes with a tamper. Use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades of the blender, and add 2-4 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.
