As I mentioned the other day, I’ve been having some digestive issues and have had eliminated dairy and grains from my diet in effort to determine the culprit. Last night, I had an overwhelming craving for ice cream. I finally gave in and ate about a half cup of ice cream on a cone.
Big. Mistake.
I am still sick.
I don’t know if it’s the sugar or the lactose, but one of them has my intestines in knots.
Trouble is, I like ice cream and frozen treats.
So, I decided to try to make my own. A friend told me (on Facebook) that she uses bananas to make “ice cream” by freezing them and them putting them through the food processor. I can do that. I have quite a few bananas in the freezer, since my kids were eating a banana a day, and then suddenly decided to boycott bananas.
I thought I’d start with a banana mango mix, since I had both on hand.
Note to self… slice bananas before freezing them in the future, it’s easier on the food processor!
This banana mango sorbet with almond milk is easy to make and delicious.
Ingredients
- 4 frozen bananas (in chunks or slices)
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (I used vanilla)
Instructions
- Combine frozen bananas, frozen mango, and one cup almond milk in food processor and process for about two minutes and turn off.
- Using spoon, or spatula, push fruit chunks into the mixture now forming.
- Add remaining half cup almond milk.
- Process another two to five minutes, until desired consistency.
- Serve immediately or place in freezer safe container.
Simple (and easy) to make, and it is beyond delicious!
Do you have a favorite sorbet recipe?
This looks awesome! I can’t do dairy right now but have also been wanting ice cream! I am pinning it!
Hope you enjoy it, Whitney!
Oh yummy! I’ve never had banana this way. Looks just delicious!

Sounds interesting. One of these days I’m going to have to break down and buy a food processor. I keep finding interesting looking recipes that need it.
Have you tried frozen yogurt? Not sure if that would be better or worse for you than ice cream, but a mouthful or two might be worth a try.
Ooh, I’ve tried the frozen banana ice cream but wasn’t a fan of the taste. What an excellent idea to add mango! Pinning!

Yummy! I have a new fondness for mango sorbet. I had a mango sorbet a few weeks ago from the Whole Fruit brand, but it will be amazing to try this recipe at home. Homemade always tastes better, anyway.
Thanks for the recipe!
