Craving ice cream, but do not want it to mess with your diet? Try this low-calorie ice cream that uses simple ingredients that keep it light, creamy and enjoyable, making it perfect for everyday summer indulgence without you worrying about the sugar overload.
2 ripe bananas (frozen, sliced) ½ cup Greek yoghurt (low-fat) 2–3 tbsp honey or dates (optional, for sweetness) ¼ cup milk (low-fat or plant-based) ½ tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp cocoa powder or fresh fruit (optional flavour)
Peel and slice the ripe bananas, then freeze them for at least 4 to 5 hours.
Add the frozen banana slices to a blender along with some Greek yoghurt. Mix it slowly, let the mixture turn smooth, thick and creamy.
Pour in milk slowly to adjust consistency and keep blending until the mixture appears like soft-serve ice cream.
To this, now add honey or dates to give natural sweetness and also some vanilla extract and blend everything again.
For a bit of variation, you can also add cocoa powder or fresh fruits like berries or mango, or any fruits of your choice.
Serve it immediately for a soft scoop, or freeze for about 2 to 3 hours if you like a firmer scoop.
