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 :)
