Prepare old bananas by breaking them up and placing them into containers, then store them in the freezer until frozen.

Remove the frozen bananas from the freezer a little before making the ice cream to allow them to blend more easily.

Add a little bit of milk to the bottom of the blender to help the bananas blend smoothly.

Add cocoa powder to the blender with the milk.

Blend the mixture starting on low speed to help it along, then increase to high speed until smooth.

Serve the blended mixture into a bowl.

If you prefer a thicker consistency, spread the mixture into another container and freeze for 10 to 15 minutes.

Optionally, add almond butter or peanut butter while blending for different flavors.

Top with dark chocolate or natural peanuts before serving.
