Frozen Banana Ice Cream (for breakfast!)

On Thursday, I wanted ice cream for breakfast.
So did my roomie, Cedar, and her girlfriend, Krista.
I got to work.
I had frozen some bananas earlier because I like to eat frozen bananas, but they were going to be sacrificed for the sake of ice cream!
Here's what I had gathered:

3 frozen bananas
a bowl of cherries
some strawberries
chocolate chips
2 not frozen bananas





In case you have never made frozen banana ice cream, you are supposed to take the frozen bananas and place them in a food processor and process them until they become chopped up into little balls and then into this delectable, super fluffy and ice cream delicious-looking concoction.
But, I am in college and do not have a food processor, I have a blender. So I used that.
Cedar and Krista
It did NOT work that well. I had to continually stop the blender and stab at things as well as you can stab with a wooden spoon and take bananas out and crush them with forks a little and stab more and it was a lot of work and mess.
In the end the blender did work, but I could not fully achieve the same tasty consistency that makes frozen banana ice cream so delicious, which was disappointing, but I was going to be ok with it, because, I wasn't about to let three frozen, tasty bananas simply get eaten by the compost.
I am determined to try this again with a food processor when school gets out and I have access to one.
After I kinda got the right consistency, I threw in the strawberries and some chocolate chips. Which was a wonderful idea.
Then I poured/scooped (stabbed?) out the ice cream into three mugs for Krista, Cedar and I.
We garnished it with cherries and not frozen bananas because well..frankly..we all really enjoy bananas.
Not gonna lie, felt pretty good to eat ice cream for breakfast.
