Zucchini Nice Cream

​Nice cream is all the rage in our house! My kids love it and I love that it’s just fruit. But did you know you can also throw in some veggies?! Frozen zucchini adds a creamy texture with no real taste. YES! We wanted to really make it green and add in spinach for color and mint to make it into mint chocolate chip flavor. 
Ingredients​
  • 1 small zucchini, chopped into medium sized cubes
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into rounds
  • Handful of fresh spinach
  • 6 mint leaves
  • ⅛ tsp mint extract (optional)
  • Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Take zucchini and bananas and put them into a freezer bag and place in the freezer. Let them freeze until firm.
  2. Place frozen zucchini, bananas, spinach, extract and mint into a food processor. Pulse until it becomes creamy. It will take a while so keep going! Use a spoon to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Once ingredients are nice and creamy, mix in chocolate chips by hand. Serve immediately and sprinkle with extra chocolate.
