Low Carb Kid-Friendly Banana Ice Cream Avocado Pops
It can be hard to find Keto friendly kids recipes, especially when a lot of Keto recipes contain dark green vegetables. However, this is a Keto recipe for picky eaters! Sweet bananas are blended with avocados to blunt the glucose response (no naked carbs). The amount of banana per serving is also relatively small. You will need a large food processor for this recipe. You will take half of the banana “ice cream” mixture and layer it inside a paper cup. The other half left in the food processor will be blended with avocados to make a sweetened avocado mixture. The cups are topped off with the avocado “ice cream.” The trick in blending the bananas lies in pulverizing the fruit in the processor, then removing the lid of the food processor and giving everything a stir before continuing to process them some more. You will repeat this process several times. This prevents any part of the mixture from getting too warm and melting, resulting in a less than a creamy mixture. We highly recommend using ripened bananas with no brown spots. This will give the brightest banana “ice cream” in texture, flavor, and color. Peel ripe bananas and place them into a freezer bag and let them freeze overnight or several hours until completely frozen. The bananas should be sliced very thin after being frozen; this will allow the food processor to do its job without overworking the rest of the banana mixture. This will result in the coldest, creamiest banana ice cream. They can be room temperature or frozen. If using frozen, be sure to dice them before adding them to the food processor.
