Notes
*While a food processor will give you the best results, 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 to ensure the best consistency, and add an additional 2-4 Tbsp of almond milk if needed.
**If you're using fully ripened bananas you do not need to add any sweetener, but if you want sweeter ice cream, you can add up to ¼ cup of granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, such as honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or regular sugar. For a lower calorie option, I've used sugar-free sweeteners with good results, such as monk fruit sweetener and stevia (just be sure to convert according to package instructions).
