Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen

  • 5 g (2 tsp) MannaBrew powder (or more to taste)

  • 60 ml coconut milk (or any plant-based milk)

  • 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract

  2. Blend: Place the frozen banana slices, MannaBrew powder, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and optional almond butter into a high-speed blender or food processor.

  3. Process: Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add a splash more coconut milk if necessary to reach your desired texture.

  4. Taste & Adjust: Taste the mixture and blend in the maple syrup or ground cinnamon if extra sweetness or warmth is preferred.

  5. Serve: Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer, scoopable ice cream.
