Lemon Poppy Seed Soft Serve

The inspiration: last weekend while talking to my little sister on the phone she had lemon-poppy-seed cookies in the oven. I knew right then that I would be making something of that flavor combination and this is dedicated to her! Yes, I know you'll love it, L. : )
It's so simple to make and yet divine. A dessert or snack that's refreshing and guilt-free, and quite filling, really, what else would you need? Raw lemon poppy-seed cookies remain on my "to do list" or rather, my "come up with" list...

Lemon Poppy Seed Soft Serve

2 large frozen bananas (peel and slice before freezing)

juice of 2 lemons

~ 1/2 cup water or nut mylk

1 tbsp honey or your favorite sweetener to taste

~2 tbsp poppy seeds*

 tsp coconut oil

optional: little lemon zest

Grind the poppy seeds using a traditional poppy seed grinder or a spice grinder/coffee grinder first if you have one, then place all ingredients in a high speed blender. Start the process on a low setting and gradually increase the speed. Add extra liquid slowly (if necessary) while monitoring the consistency. You will have soft serve ice cream in under a minute. Share and enjoy every spoonful of it!
