STRAWBERRY/ BANANA SOFT ICE CREAM WITH MANGO, BLUEBERRY, AND COCONUT TOPPING





This is like a smoothie with an soft serve ice cream texture.  It is super healthy and can be enjoyed as breakfast (ice cream for breakfast... yay!), as a snack, or as a guilt free dessert. It is really easy to make and does not require an ice cream machine. You will however need a high speed blender to break the frozen fruits into the texture of a smooth ice cream. 

I love eating fruit, They are full of nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Plus they are naturally sweetened, thus a much better alternative to eating processed sugars. Despite being naturally sweet, they should be eaten in moderation. The trick is to eat a few servings daily, but make sure you are using a variety of them as they all offer different health benefits. 

Colors are your new best friends :)





STRAWBERRY/ BANANA SOFT ICE CREAM WITH MANGO, BLUEBERRY, AND COCONUT TOPPING

1 cup of frozen strawberries
1 frozen banana, cut into large coins

For the topping:

1/4 cup of blueberries
1/2 mango, pit and skin removed, cut into cubes
1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes


Preparation:

In a high speed blender, mix the soft ice cream ingredients together until smooth. You might need to scrape the sides of your blender once or twice. 
Put the soft ice cream  in a bowl, add the topping ingredients over it, and enjoy immediately!
