I have been experimenting a lot lately with making different recipes using canned chick peas. Chick peas are very mild in taste, super nutritious, inexpensive, readily available, have a long shelf life and are probably one of the most versatile canned foods you can purchase. if you are stocking up food as a prepper, canned chick peas should be on your shelves.
 in this recipe I make a soft serve ice cream from bananas and chick peas and some powdered milk. I have not seen anyone else make this before.
In the video I wrote you can let the blended chick pea settle to separate the pulp, but it is much quicker and easier to use a medium mesh strainer. 
The ice cream is very thick. In the video I let it mix too long and it was softer than I normally like it. In the vita mix, the speed of the blades heat up the components you are blending, so if the ice cream gets too thin you have to add more frozen material. at the same time, you need to add a small portion of liquid at the beginning to start the blending. If you do not eat all of the ice cream right away and decide to freeze the remainder, separate the amount you want to freeze in your freezer into small serving size containers so you can thaw them out easily as the ice cream will be too hard to scoop. The large amount of fiber from the peas and banana will make the ice cream very dense when frozen solid.
 the flavor and texture is quite good. it has a fresh taste with no beany taste, just a small amount of graininess depending on how well you strained the liquid.. if you did not tell a person the ice cream had chick peas in it they would not know.
 I will be posting an orange chick pea pudding next week that I think is even better than the ice cream.
