Biological Sciences student, Anju, shares her "nice-cream" recipe

Chocolate and banana "nice cream" is a recipe that my sister and I love. It's great to enjoy at any time of the day and is a super adaptable recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 frozen bananas (if you want it thicker, add more frozen bananas)
• Chocolate milk (we use soya, but dairy or coconut etc is fine)
• A drizzle of honey/ syrup or agave
• 1 tbsp desiccated coconut (optional)
• A handful of each of your favourite cereals, seeds and /or nuts
• Some fresh or dried fruit e.g. berries, coconut shavings or sliced bananas to top
• Any toppings you fancy: we have been known to use anything from freeze-dried berries to marshmallows!

Method

1) Roughly chop the bananas and add to a blender with your chocolate milk and a drizzle of honey.

2) Add the coconut if you are opting for it - I find that it makes the smoothie taste extra chocolatey!

3) Blend into a thick mousse/ ice-cream consistency.

4) Pour into a bowl and add your toppings - make it a work of art!

5) Dig in!
