Instructions
-
1Add to Blender: Add the peeled and pitted avocado, frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice into a blender or food processor.
-
2Blend Smooth: Blend on high speed for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth and velvety. Scrape down the sides of the jar as needed. Taste and add extra sweetener if desired.
-
3Transfer & Freeze: Pour into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with a lid or parchment paper and freeze for 60–90 minutes until scoopable.
-
4Scoop & Serve: Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and garnish with dark chocolate chips or fresh berries if desired!
Notes & Tips
- 🥑 Ripe Avocado: Choose an avocado that yields gently to pressure. Underripe avocados won’t blend smoothly and can impart a bitter taste.
- 🍌 Freeze Banana Ahead: Peel and slice ripe bananas before freezing overnight. This frozen banana base provides that thick soft-serve consistency.
- 🍋 Lemon Juice Magic: Don’t skip the lemon juice! A touch of acidity brightens the flavors and keeps the vibrant green color from browning.
- 🍦 Optional Stirring: Stir the ice cream every 30 minutes during the freezing period to break up ice crystals for an ultra-creamy texture.
