Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla Greek yogurt)
  • 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Optional Toppings

Instructions

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into smaller pieces.
  2. Peel and slice the bananas.
  3. Place the strawberries, bananas, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  4. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  6. Freeze for 3–4 hours, stirring once every hour for a creamier texture. Alternatively, churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  8. Scoop into bowls or dessert glasses and garnish with fresh strawberries or your favorite toppings.

Tips & Notes

  • Freeze the banana slices beforehand for an even creamier texture.
  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness.
  • Frozen strawberries work just as well and create a thicker consistency.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
