Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen fruit of choice (e.g., strawberries, mangos, blueberries, etc.)
- 1 whole banana, sliced and frozen
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt of choice)
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Add the frozen fruit, frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, and milk to a high-powered blender or food processor.
Blend on high until the mixture begins to combine. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or stir the mixture a few times to ensure an even blend.
Add honey or maple syrup (if using) and the vanilla extract into the blender. Blend again until smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or syrup, then blend for a few more seconds.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and spread it out evenly.
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for 2-3 hours, or until the ice cream firms up.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade smoothie ice cream!
