Banana Berry Frozen Dessert

 

Banana Berry Frozen Dessert

I know a lot of you reading this have heard of this recipe or have enjoyed it yourself, but it's so GOOD and NATURAL that it's worth repeating until everyone has placed it in their recipe files! (Or have it planted firmly in one's brain.)

This was my yummy treat to myself after a long week of sticking to a new juicing lifestyle change!

I looked forward to making this since yesterday, and several times at work today!

This is an awesome treat for anyone of any age!

 It's super easy to make and only uses these three ingredients:

Frozen Bananas
Frozen Strawberries
Frozen Blueberries

Let your frozen fruit thaw about 30 minutes before using (the time depends on how clumped together and frozen your fruit is). 

The fruit should be slightly thawed and easy to put through your juicer or to blend in a high-powered blender, or in a food processor. I used my Omega juicer with the "blank" attachment (not the one I use for juicing).


Just mix them all together and serve immediately, or place it in a container and freeze for later. (Even the really frozen "icy" version is ice-cream-heavenly, especially if you've been deprived of sugary sweets for awhile.)

To prepare your bananas ahead of time: 
Peel ripe bananas, slice them, and place them in a Zip-Lock bag and freeze.

Variations:
Try using a variety of frozen fruit like peaches, pears, apricots, or raspberries.
Add nuts, carob chips, or cocoa / raw chocolate powder.
Make a plain banana frozen dessert and top it with berries or a homemade chocolate sauce.

What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Mine is chocolate chip mint! I'll have to make a version of that sometime in the near future. I have some chocolate mint plants growing in the yard and want to experiment some with that.
