Instructions
Step 1: Freeze the Bananas
-
Peel and slice bananas.
-
Place slices on a parchment-lined tray in a single layer.
-
Freeze at least 3 hours or overnight.
Step 2: Blend
-
Add frozen bananas and frozen strawberries to a food processor.
-
Blend until crumbly.
-
Keep processing — it will gradually turn smooth and creamy.
-
If needed, add 1 tablespoon almond milk at a time to help it blend.
(Do not add too much liquid or it will become a smoothie.)
Step 3: Serve or Freeze
-
For soft-serve texture: Eat immediately.
-
For scoopable ice cream texture (like your photo):
-
Spread into a loaf pan.
-
Freeze 30–60 minutes.

Let sit 5–10 minutes before scooping if frozen longer.

Q & A
❓ Why is it 0 points?
On most WW plans, fruit is zero points when eaten whole or blended without added sugar. This recipe contains only fruit (and optional unsweetened almond milk in small amounts).
❓ Can I make this without bananas?
Yes, but texture changes. Bananas create the creamy base.
Without banana, try:
-
2 cups frozen mango + 1 cup frozen strawberries
It will be more sorbet-like than creamy.
❓ Why is my mixture crumbly and not smooth?
That’s normal at first. Keep blending. It goes through stages:
-
Crumbly
-
Thick and sticky
-
Smooth and creamy
Be patient and scrape down sides as needed.
❓ Can I use a blender instead of a food processor?
Yes, but:
-
Use a high-powered blender.
-
Let fruit soften 3–5 minutes before blending.
-
You may need slightly more almond milk.
A food processor gives the best texture.
❓ How long does it last in the freezer?
Up to 1 week in an airtight container.
It will freeze solid — let it thaw 5–15 minutes before scooping.
❓ Can I add protein?
Yes, but it will likely add points.
Options:
-
½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt (adds creaminess + protein)
-
1 scoop protein powder
Check points in the WW app if adding these.
❓ Can I make this dairy-free?
It already is! Just use unsweetened almond milk if needed.
❓ Why does it taste sweeter sometimes?
Very ripe bananas (brown spots) are naturally sweeter and give the best “ice cream” flavor.
