Frozen Fruit Delight

Summertime.

Kids.

Ice cream. 

Ice cream cones, ice cream sandwiches, bowls of ice cream, ice cream running down arms, and ice cream smeared all over faces. 

Eating healthy and being healthy doesn't mean you forgo those scrumptious summertime traditions or that you have to gag down some gnarly knock-off. 

SIMPLE RAW FOOD MAMMA to the rescue! Just peel and slice a banana (or a whole bunch of 'em) and arrange them single-layer on a cookie sheet or in a freezer bag. Place in freezer. Wait. Wait. (until the fruit is frozen) Now take them out and zip 'em in your food processor or high-speed blender. You will likely need to add some hemp milk (or almond, soy, rice -milk). 

Viola! A frozen fruit delight! For variety and flavor add in some frozen strawberries, raspberries, blueberries... Yummy in the tummy.

Last night I mixed banana and strawberry together. We had some health food store-variety cones leftover from last week, 

so I plopped the frozen fruit inside. 

A SIMPLE & HEALTHY & INEXPENSIVE 

alternative to dairy ice cream.

By the way, if you have a Green Star juicer you can put on the "blank" juicing attachment and shove your frozen fruit through the juicer. You get a thicker consistency with this method. (photo courtesy of Elena @ Eat Healthy Be Happy)

So far this summer I have made all the ice cream classics with this frozen fruit delight... in a cone, in a sandwich (between two raw food "cookies"), in a bowl, and smeared all over the face (see above).

Go ahead, give it a try!

Kids love it.

Husbands love it too!
