Ingredients
- 6 ripe bananas, peeled and frozen overnight
- 2 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1½ teaspoons honey
- ⅓ cup canned coconut milk (adjust as needed)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Peel 6 ripe bananas, cut them in half, and freeze overnight.
- Blend Ingredients: In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine the frozen bananas, blackberries, and coconut milk. Blend until mostly pureed but still slightly chunky.
- Add Flavorings: Add honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the mixture. Blend again until the mixture reaches a creamy consistency. If needed, add more coconut milk to achieve desired texture.
- Serve Immediately or Freeze: For a soft-serve consistency, serve immediately, garnished with fresh berries if desired. For a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or using maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Add almond or peanut butter for a richer flavor or mix in dairy-free chocolate chips for a fun twist.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if the texture is too hard.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes (excluding freezing time)
