A creamy, dairy-free banana and strawberry nice cream bowl topped with fresh berries, crunchy granola, and chia seeds, perfect for a quick, healthy, and festive Valentine’s Day breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium frozen bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A handful of fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries) for topping
  • 1/4 cup granola
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 2 ripe bananas, then freeze them for at least 4 hours or overnight. Ensure strawberries are frozen as well.
  2. In a high-speed blender or food processor, add frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pulse a few times to break down the fruit, then blend continuously until creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if mixture is too thick, but avoid making it runny.
  4. Check the texture; it should be thick enough to hold shape but soft enough to scoop. Adjust by adding more almond milk or frozen banana chunks as needed.
  5. Spoon the creamy nice cream into a serving bowl and smooth the top or create swirls with a spatula.
  6. Top with fresh berries, granola, and sprinkle chia seeds for texture and nutrition.
  7. Drizzle maple syrup or honey over the top if desired for extra sweetness.
  8. Serve immediately for best creamy, cold texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 24 hours and let soften before serving.

Notes

Freeze bananas sliced for easier blending. Add almond milk gradually to avoid runny texture. Pulse frozen fruit before blending continuously to protect blender blades. Scrape sides often for even texture. Experiment with different toppings and mix-ins like protein powder or cocoa powder for variations.
