Food Tweaks
Fruit Ice Creams
Step by step
- Cut fruit into cubes or slices, remove peel, stones and seeds and freeze them.
- When ready to eat, pour banana slices into the food processor and whip until it has the consistency of ice cream.
- Add the rest of the fruit and whip again. Cream should be at least 50% banana for good texture.
- Top with desired toppings.
- Prepare it when ready to eat it or 15 minutes before, at most, and keep in the freezer; otherwise, instead of a creamy texture it will be hard ice.
Ingredients

Tips
- General Tips for Ice Creams
- Slushies: watery fruits like watermelon, melon or citrus are appropriate.
- For Creamy Ice Creams: Use a dairy base such as plain yogurt, whipped cheese or Greek yogurt. Normally, milk or vegetable drinks turn out to be too liquid unless we use only bananas.
- Avoid using sugar or dairy sugary products. Fruit is a natural sugar source.
