This is why I make it a point to try to incorporate some awesomely nutritious plant foods into our meals whenever I can. Unfortunately, I’m the only one in the house who gets excited about vegetables and fruits, so I have to make these wholesome foods a little more exciting for the others. This 3 Ingredient Tropical Ice Cream is one way to really make fruits shine.
After a whirl in a food processor or powerful blender, the combination of frozen mango, frozen banana, and coconut milk take on a soft serve consistency perfectly ready to dish out on the spot. However, you can pour the creamy mixture into a container and freeze for a more scoopable, ice cream-like frozen treat. The result is a slightly sweet, super creamy, melt-in-your-mouth treat evoking some serious island vibes.
