Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by preparing your fruit. If you’re using berries, just rinse them; for mangoes or other larger fruits, chop them into smaller pieces.
- 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped fruit, maple syrup (or agave), lemon juice, and coconut water (or plant-based coconut milk). Blend until smooth.
- 3
Taste the mixture; you can add more sweetener or lemon juice if you like it sweeter or tangier.
- 4
Pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer.
- 5
Let it freeze for about 3-4 hours. After an hour, give it a good stir with a fork to break up any ice crystals. This helps create a smoother texture.
- 6
Once it’s fully frozen, scoop it out and serve! You can let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
