Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits by washing the strawberries thoroughly and removing the stems. Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into chunks.
- Place the banana chunks and strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the fruits for about 2 hours or until they are completely solid.
- Remove the frozen fruits from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften.
- Transfer the frozen fruits to a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Add the vanilla or plain yogurt, honey, and lemon juice to the blender with the frozen fruits.
- Blend the mixture on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy with a soft-serve consistency.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of yogurt or milk to help it blend more easily.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a drizzle of honey before serving.
Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and creamier texture
- Freeze fruits completely before blending to achieve the perfect soft-serve consistency
- Let frozen fruits sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before blending to prevent over-straining your blender
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar
- If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after blending
- Experiment with additional mix-ins like chia seeds, dark chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
- Always use a high-powered blender for the smoothest result
- For a more decadent version, add a splash of vanilla extract or a dollop of coconut cream
