Ingredients

4 large bananas sliced and frozen
2-4 drops of peppermint extract to taste
natural green food coloring optional - I like using natural food color powders*
¼ - ½ cup dark chocolate chips
¼ cup coconut milk, as needed

Instructions

Peel and slice the bananas and freeze until hard (at least a couple of hours)
Once the bananas are frozen, place in a food processor with peppermint essence and natural food coloring.
If needed, you can add a little bit of coconut milk to help it blend easier
Blend until smooth and a soft serve consistency.
Add chocolate chips and stir gently to combine.
Serve immediately or you can refreeze.

Notes

I like to use natural powder food colors. If you want green color to this recipe, add a sprinkle each of yellow and blue natural food color powders and mix. Add a little bit of each at a time until you get the color you want. Remember: you can always add more, but you can't take it out once it's added!
