Carb Nite® Treat: Simple Banana Chestnut Ice Cream
I’ve been enjoying this Carb Nite® protocol and still continuing having progress. Speaking of which, I think I’m due for another post regarding my progress with that protocol. It’s coming!
Anyway I got an idea of making this banana ice cream from this site. The recipe was super simple and the only addition I had was chestnuts. The plan was to have chestnut pieces in the mixture but I goofed up and ended up blending the whole chestnuts with the banana.
Since I wanted to make this dessert to be super low fat, I didn’t put any nut butters.

Ingredients
- 1 Medium ripe banana (about 1 medium 7)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2oz cooked chestnuts
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Peel and cut up the ripe banana into chunks and place in a ziplock bag. Freeze until you're ready to make your banana ice cream | |
| Step 2 | |
| When you're ready to make banana ice cream, place the frozen banana chunks in a blender or food processor, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk and pure vanilla extract. Blend until everything incorporated. | |
| Step 3 | |
| On a separate bowl, break the cooked chestnuts into pieces. Do not mash unless that's what you want. My Magic Bullet blender blade wasn't strong enough to blend the frozen banana chunks so I still had couple banana pieces in my mixture. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Prepare 4 small molds and scoop about 3 Tbsp batter into each mold. Freeze and enjoy when it's ready! | |
