Don't tell my parents that I have been eating ice cream for breakfast. No, wait - DO tell them. They'd be proud.
Honestly, I have no idea why I even call this recipe ice cream. It has no dairy or milk of any kind, no scary preservatives or emulsifiers, and definitely nothing you can't pronounce. It's full of fruit sugars, healthy fats, protein and carbs. It probably makes a better breakfast than most commercial cereals.
It's a lot easier to list what this recipe does have, rather than what it doesn't have:
Bananas and peanut butter.
No really, that's it.
