Using a powerful blender or food processor, puree frozen banana slices until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Add 1 of the variations above or another variation of your choice and puree. If you would like a bit more creamy texture you can add 1-2 tbsp. of almond milk. For a soft serve ice cream version you will want to serve immediately.
