Banana Cream “Ice Cream” (SCD, GAPS, Paleo, Dessert)

Well I just got back from Hamilton. I was there for yet another CARMS interview. I had never actually been there before which always make it easy to answer the question “why Hamilton?”

But that marks the end of my travelling around the country for interviews. My last one is Calgary on Thursday (please send me good vibes that day!) and then comes the waiting game. It feels good to be almost done though. This has been a bit of a stressful time that’s for sure!

But enough about me… how about some food?

Now I can’t really call this ice cream because there is no actual “cream” involved. That wouldn’t be paleo, or SCD legal now would it? But this does have a similar texture to ice cream, and it’s cold. So that’s what I am going with. Sorry if I mislead you. But it is super easy to make, and doesn’t require an ice cream maker which is nice.
