Is there really such a thing as healthy ice cream? This raw vegan ice cream recipe is made with raw frozen bananas, shredded coconut and vanilla beans and is as healthy as an ice cream can get in my opinion!
My daughter loves the show Daniel Tiger and recently watched an episode where Daniel made “Banana Swirl,” which is an ice cream made with frozen bananas. She of course wanted to make it immediately and thankfully I had all the ingredients to make it for her. What better way to get banana’s into her diet?!
How to make banana-coconut raw vegan ice cream
You can make raw banana ice cream with just bananas but we decided to add a few extra ingredients to add some flavor. 🙂
More specifically, to make this recipe like I did, you’ll need:
- 4-6 bananas, frozen and cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
Once you’ve gathered the ingredients, this recipe is super simple. Just:
- Blend bananas up in a high speed blender, Vitamix or food processor until they’re smooth and creamy. Don’t blend for too long or the ice cream will melt.
- Add shredded coconut and vanilla and blend for 30 seconds or until the coconut and vanilla are thoroughly mixed into the ice cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

Can’t wait to try this. I live on an island in Panama and bananas and coconut are very abundant. I use the coconut to make fresh milk also.
Awesome! I’m Panamanian and love hearing about Panama 🙂
I am on a diet in which you use a lot of coconut oil and coconut, so I would love to have more recipes which I can use. At the moment I can’t use bananas, because of all the carbs, but the moment I have lost all the excess weight, I will definitely try this lovely recipe. You are such a beautiful young woman! It is so exciting to know so many young people are becoming more aware of healthy eating and all the options that are available to us. Thanks for the contribution that you are making. It is amazing. You are a star!

I love the banana ice cream with frozen cherries, yumm. We also love frozen pineapple with ginger!
And yes, we also love Daniel Tiger!!!
What s the different between those coconut shredded or better to use coconut:
*Shredded Coconut
*Coconut Flakes
*Coconut Chips
Which often did you use ? Shredded. What s good about flakes and chips?
I am looking forward to make.
Thanks.
Can I order organic dried coconut shredded 1 gallon but the question is will it melt in the summer if I keep it in basement or kitchen or? How long will it expired when I open the pail? Same thing with coconut oil pail that I am thinking to order? melt ? how long ? no expired date?
I would like to try to use it since it looks so good healthy food. Plus any frozen fruit would work that way instead of bananas?
Thanks so much
This sounds GREAT! Can I swap vanilla extract for the vanilla bean powder?
You sure can! 🙂
Could I use vanilla extract instead? The one you posted is too expensive for me.
Yes!
Made something similar to this the other day. 4-6 Bananas (frozen), 1-2 T peanut butter, 1-2 T cocoa powder, and 1-2 T coconut oil, use a food processor to blend. Very tasty.
That sounds amazing! I’ll try your recipes next time. 🙂
May I switch the honey, maple syrup, or other sweeteners, for stivia or erythritol? Also, I’m allergic to almonds & I’m so grateful for your free download-able recipes for free. Thank you❣
