Notes

Ripe Bananas - You want very ripe bananas for the sweetest, most flavorful ice cream.

Add Milk - If the mixture is too thick and won't blend in your blender or food processor, add 1 TBS of milk (cow, or your favorite dairy free option).

High Powered Blender - This probably won't mix well with your hand me down blender, it needs something powerful like a BlendTec, or Vitamix, etc.
