INGREDIENT NOTES:

BANANAS:

  • This will be one of the core flavors in this ice cream recipe. These easily provide the base of the dessert. Bananas, by nature, will give the ice cream a creamy finish and a sweet taste. We use frozen bananas because they will give an ice cream texture after they blend. The WW points also remain low with the use of this fruit. If you want to change bananas for some other fruit, try using mango slices.

STRAWBERRIES:

  • The other core taste comes with the addition of frozen strawberries. These will improve the delicious, fruity flavor in the ice cream. The color of the ice cream turns pink. The number of WW points also remains low, and their additions and calories also do not increase much. In this dessert, we will be using the frozen ones as they will help make the ice cream mix thicker. Another alternative for strawberries can be raspberries.

UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK:

  • You can omit this product if you feel like the ice cream is okay without its use. But make use of it if you feel the need to. This milk will help in making the ice cream mix blend more properly and easily. The dessert will be okay if you do not use it. Only utilize 2 tbsp of it in the blender. If you require an alternative for this ingredient, you may use skim milk, coconut water, or water.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First step is to take a clean blender.

  5. Blend again to adjust the consistency.
  6. Take the dessert glasses and pour the ice cream mix into them.
  7. Enjoy the ice cream right after you blend it, or you can freeze it for the future.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • Cool a serving bowl in the refrigerator for some time, and then place the ice cream in it for a good consistency.
  • Place some slices of strawberry or banana on top of the ice cream to complete the look of this dessert.
  • For another topping idea, place some mint leaves for a twist of flavor.
  • Adding cinnamon to this dessert will provide a nice look and taste.

TIPS:

  • If the bananas are ripe enough, they will give good sweetness to the ice cream after blending.
