Strawberries: High in vitamin C, which boosts immune function and helps the body absorb iron and in antioxidants to help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.

Ingredients:
2 bananas
1 cup strawberries
1 scoop protein powder (optional)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Instructions:
Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into coins. Place the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them into halves or quarters.
Once the bananas are frozen solid, transfer them to a blender or food processor along with the strawberries. If using, add the protein powder and maple syrup for added flavor and sweetness. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed.
For a firmer consistency, transfer the blended ice cream mixture to a container and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will help the ice cream firm up and become scoopable.
Scoop the banana ice cream into bowls and serve immediately for a soft-serve texture. For a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for an additional 1-3 hours before serving.
Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a handful of fresh berries for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
