Ice cream rainbow-kinda!

Sweet summer is coming to an end! I am trying to enjoy the last couple of days or maybe even weeks(you never know in Chicago) of sunshine.This ice cream recipe is called Neopolitan but I just like the name rainbow ice cream better, because in my world rainbows are made out of vegan chocolate,vanilla and strawberry ice cream.
It is easy to make and it is delicious and nutritious.



Ingredients:
 
3 bananas
1-1 1/2 cups almond or coconut milk
1 cup strawberries
1/4 cup cacao powder
1 tbsp alcohol free vanilla
A little bit of date syrup or coconut nectar (optional)

Preparation:
 
To make the different kinds of rainbow layers you have to be a little patient and freeze every layer at a time.
Blend strawberries and 1 banana with the nut milk and freeze in an airtight container.You will have to wait about two hours till the strawberry layer is frozen.
Blend 1 banana,vanilla and nut milk and add on top of the frozen strawberry layer..freeze again.
Then blend the last banana,nut milk and cacao powder and add on top of the banana layer..freeze everything overnight.
You can blend a little bit of sweetener to your different flavors if you like it sweet.I think the bananas give enough sweetnes.
To save time you can blend each layer up and put in separate containers.Stick them in the freezer for a few hours and when the layers are starting to freeze layer them on top of each other and put back in the freezer overnight.
