Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced and frozen (the riper, the sweeter)
  • 1½ cups frozen strawberries (halved if large)
  • 1–2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
  • 2–4 tablespoons liquid (water, dairy-free milk, or coconut water—add as needed)
  • Optional add-ins: 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (for extra sweetness), a squeeze of lemon (for brightness), chia seeds, or collagen/plant protein.
  • Optional toppings: Sliced strawberries, cacao nibs, granola, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts.

Instructions
 

  • Prep your fruit. Peel and slice bananas before freezing. Use a lined tray for easy blending later. Freeze strawberries if they aren’t already.
  • Add to blender. Combine frozen banana slices and frozen strawberries. Add vanilla and a small pinch of salt.
  • Blend low and slow. Start on low to break up the fruit. Add 1–2 tablespoons of liquid at a time as needed. Scrape down the sides.
  • Adjust texture. For soft-serve, keep it thick and scoopable. For a smoother, lighter texture, add a little more liquid.
  • Taste and tweak. If it needs more sweetness, add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. For brightness, add a few drops of lemon juice.
  • Serve immediately. Scoop into bowls. Top with crunch or keep it classic.
  • For firmer scoops. Freeze in a shallow container for 45–60 minutes, then scoop.
