1 cup fresh strawberries (leaves left on)

2 tbs virgin coconut oil

1/3 cup local raw honey or agave

1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves*

1/4 tsp organic mint extract (optional)

1 whole frozen banana, cut into chunks

1/3 cup almond milk

Instructions:

Wash and gather all ingredients (except the frozen banana and almond milk), then add them to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend until very smooth (little green should be visible).

Next, pour your ice cream mixture into ice cube trays or one large freezer safe dish. Freeze the ice cubes until solid or, alternately place your dish into the freezer and break the cream into chunks after freezing.

Now, add all your frozen cubes into a high speed blender or food processor along with the frozen banana and 1/3 cup almond milk. Blend/ process until smooth. You can serve this immediately or freeze it in a large freezer safe dish for about 4 more hours to firm up. Garnish with fresh mint and enjoy!

*If you truly do not like mint, do not worry, you really cannot taste it very much it just adds a little bit more freshness to the mix. You can feel free to leave it out though, or sub in another herb such as basil!
