Tips & Variations:
- For a richer flavor, use very ripe bananas.
- Adjust the amount of strawberries to your liking. More strawberries will make it more tart, while fewer will keep it sweeter.
- Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
- For a thicker ice cream, freeze the mixture for a few hours after blending.
- Get creative with toppings! Try chocolate chips, granola, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts.
- Make it a smoothie by adding milk or yogurt to the blender.
Storage: Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
