Easy Banana Nice Cream in Your Ninja Creami - No Sugar or Dairy!

Get The Ultimate Ninja Creami Experience with Kathy Hester for more whole food plant-based recipes, videos, how-tos, tips, troubleshooting, and more! Read all the details here: kathyhester.thrivecart.com/ni...
It combines tons of videos, an ebook with over 30 recipes plus color photos for each, with 2 live events thrown in for good measure!
You know I love my Ninja Creami and if you just got yours, this is the perfect recipe to start with. All you need is some ripe bananas, some vanilla, and possibly a splash of your favorite non-dairy milk.
If you haven't heard about nice cream before, it tastes just like banana ice cream but it has no fat or added sugar (unless you use bananas that aren't ripe enough).
If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can add in some date syrup or maple syrup. How will you know? Taste it before you freeze it! This is a rule for using the Creami Ice Cream Maker.
You don't even need to blend this - just mash the bananas in your Ninja Creami pint with the vanilla and mix in enough non-dairy milk to reach the max fill line.
Freeze 24 hours on a flat surface, then spin on the smoothie or ice cream setting.

Thank you for your videos. Based on this banana recipe and your pineapple recipe, I made my first plant-based ice cream and loved it. Piña Colada Ice Cream (no dairy) 1 can coconut cream (unsweetened) (13.6 oz) 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz) 1 can sweetened condensed coconut milk (13.5 oz) 1 can Dole crushed pineapple in pineapple juice (20 oz) 4 Tbs sweetened coconut flakes 1 Tbs spiced rum 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp rum extract 1/4 tsp coconut extract 1 banana (chunks) Blend ingredients in blender (I used a 72oz Ninja blender) Makes 4 pints

You would be a fantastic School teacher! You don’t miss anything. Great video! Have you heard of the “Yonanas”? It makes ice cream out of bananas too. I love to toss warm toasted almond slices on my banana “ice cream”. So yummy! You really feel like you’re doin something wrong😎haha! I made four batches of strawberry creami ice cream today. I have to heat the berries up before I add them because lectins hate me. Wow, did they make some sweet treats. Also, I used to drink organic almond milk before I found out they add preservatives before they package at a separate facility. It was giving me horrible migraines. Just a heads up for anybody out there per chance in the same boat. Definitely going to watch more of your vids. 👍

What part of the job do you feel it didn't do? I like it better than a blender because I don't have to add extra nondairy milk and make it too soft, and it's easier to clean than my food processor and I can process less - even 1/2 a pint. But you can, of course, make nice cream in your blender or food processor.

The Creami isn't a blender, instead, it finely shaves the mixture, so it needs to be a frozen solid block. Because of that I'd at least half thaw them and make sure the pint is packed before you freeze. Once frozen solid you can spin it.

You want to spin it right before you eat it for the best possible texture. You can eat part, refreeze the pint and spin another day. If you make a high fat recipe, you may be able to store it like regular ice cream, but honestly, it takes 2 - 3 minutes to spin.

I disagree with that with whole food plant based recipes in particular. We are using no oil, and often dates as sweeteners. That makes the mix freeze much harder than traditional recipes with fat and refined sugar.

Every appliance is not for everyone for sure. In my live talking about it I suggested using a food processor, blender, or Yonana if that's what you like best.

[@KathyHesterVeganRecipes]

But also it's pretty easy after you've done it once or twice. Mostly it's blending then putting into a pint to freeze, then putting it in the machine. I'm here if you have questions about it or anything else.

Thanks Kathy😍you are the sweetest

[@siov4279]

those stringy peel parts have more nutrients than the bananas!

[@readingmaniac54]

🤩😘

[@edkovac8978]

I just don't get why to have an expensive machine when you're mashing up the bananas by hand...

[@tara8987]

Yea an awful lot of work. Making nice cream in a blender you then justness put it in a container and you're done. Scoop it out as wanted.

I have never liked banana ice cream. I much prefer putting sliced fresh bananas in a bowl and adding vanilla ice cream to the bowl. However, I will have to try your recipe in my new Ninja Creami to see if I like it.

[@KathyHesterVeganRecipes]

I love it but some people just don't love banana nice cream. Have you tried the pineapple whip already? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF6riWSdirFraKc

Hello pretty Lady

[@user-oe8hf5jb4v]

why can I not use real dairy? Does it curdle or something

[@KathyHesterVeganRecipes]

I create vegan recipes, so I don't use dairy.

[@pamdavis6604]

It's a potato masher

[@KathyHesterVeganRecipes]

I would completely disagree with this. But it's not for everyone, and it seems it's not for you.

Herb scissors work great to chop up fruit.

Is that a kitty on the floor?

[@KathyHesterVeganRecipes]

It is - she hangs out with me in the kitchen.

[@hidden909]

I love my kitty hanging close by too. I just always hear your dogs, nice to meet your kitty!

[@rheailiarome2287]

This machine seems too precious! I have a simple ice cream machine, and it's a lot easier . No dramas.

[@KathyHesterVeganRecipes]

What drama have you seen? I haven’t had any issues with mine.
