Mint Ice Cream

May 13, 2011 By Jamie Dorobek 3 Comments

 
As some of you know, my New Year’s resolution involved herbs and spices…
What’s the difference between herbs and spices anyway?
 
Mint Ice Cream
 
 
Health benefits of mint: According to this website, mint is well known for its ability to sooth the digestive tract and reduce the severity and length of stomach aches. This is such a simple, refreshing, healthy, recipe for summer.

Step 1 – Slice Bananas

Cut 1 banana into small pieces and freeze for at least one hour.

Step 2 – Blend

Use a food processor to blend the frozen banana slices and the mint.

Step 3 – Continue Mixing

This step takes longer than you think depending on your food processor.

Step 4 – Creamy Perfection

The banana mint ice cream should look like this!

Step 5 – Add honey

This step is optional, and I think it totally depends on the banana. Some bananas are sweeter than others. Pretty yummy. And healthy.  The creaminess amazes me every time I do it!

and there you have it…

Oh yea, and the difference between herbs and spices is… (drum roll please) According to Wikipedia, Herbs are typically from the leafy part of the plant and spices are from seeds, berries, fruits, bark, or roots. Mint is officially an herb. Who knew?!
