Recipe yields 4 servings
In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
If you prefer a less processed option than fat-free ice cream, use plain non-fat Greek yogurt or a frozen banana. This adds creaminess and protein while avoiding added sugars.
Skim milk works well, but unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk are great substitutions for different flavor profiles or dietary restrictions.
If your fruit isn't perfectly ripe, you might need a touch of sweetness. Try a teaspoon of honey, agave, or a monk fruit sweetener instead of adding refined sugar.
