Pro Tips

  • Use FROZEN fruit for thick, ice cream-like texture—fresh fruit makes it too thin
  • Coconut milk adds tropical flavor but any milk works
  • Top with toasted coconut flakes for extra crunch and flavor
  • Perfect summer breakfast or post-workout meal

Frequently Asked Questions

Fresh fruit works, but frozen creates a thicker, ice cream-like texture. Add 5-6 ice cubes if using fresh.

Use less liquid (start with ½ cup) and add more as needed. The goal is a thick, spoonable consistency.

Yes! Use coconut milk and plant-based protein powder. The coconut adds extra tropical flavor.

No problem! Use any combo of pineapple, mango, peach, or even mixed berries. Banana is key for creaminess.
