1. Prepare the ingredients by freezing ripe bananas, diced mango, and strawberries for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Add the frozen bananas, strawberries, and mango to a high-speed blender or food processor.
3. Pour in the almond milk or coconut water to help the blending process and add creaminess.
4. Optional: Add vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the ice cream.
5. Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary. Be patient, as it may take a few minutes to achieve the perfect texture.
6. Once blended, taste and adjust sweetness if needed. (Usually, the natural sweetness of the fruits is sufficient.)
7. Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer ice cream texture.
8. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your refreshing dairy-free raw fruit ice cream!
