I can’t believe it’s not GELATO!

This is my quick fix to Summer homesickness. It brings back memories of sunny days spent with my cousins Stefano and Valeria diving into 40" blow up swimming pools and eating “gelato alla banana” that their grandma Giuseppina would make for us. The result of this recipe is not quite nonna Giuseppina’s gelato, but it does the trick (and probably cuts the calories down to at least 1/2).

P.S. The Smurfs glass is also part of my nostalgic trip down memory lane... :)
Ingredients (2-4 people):
  • 2 bananas
  • 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
Equipment:
  • Measuring cups/spoons
  • Blender
Steps:
  1. Slice two bananas and place in the freezer.
  2. Once banana slices are frozen put all ingredients into a blender.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy. Buona Estate!
