Ingredients (Serves 2–3):
- 3 ripe bananas (preferably sliced and frozen)
- 200 g fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1–2 tbsp coconut milk (can be substituted with almond milk or yogurt)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla powder
- Juice of ½ lime (optional, adds a refreshing twist)
Optional Toppings:
- Chopped almonds or walnuts
- Shaved dark chocolate
- Fresh berries
- Coconut flakes
Instructions:
- Freeze the Fruit: Slice the bananas and place them in the freezer along with the strawberries for at least 3 hours (or overnight).
- Blend Everything: Add the frozen bananas and strawberries to a food processor or high-powered blender. Pour in the coconut milk and vanilla. Add lime juice if desired.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend until the texture is creamy like soft-serve ice cream. This takes 2–4 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Serve Immediately or transfer to a container and place in the freezer for 30–60 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.
- Top It Off: Add your favorite toppings – nuts, chocolate, or fresh fruit – and enjoy!
