Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Use very ripe, well-spotted bananas. Slice them before freezing so they blend easily, and freeze for a few hours until solid. 1:06
- Put the frozen banana slices in a high-speed blender or food processor with the almond milk, vanilla, frozen berries and maple syrup. 3:28
- Blend on low, stopping to stir now and then, until thick, smooth and creamy. 3:47
- Scoop into a container. Eat straight away as soft serve, or freeze for a few hours for a firmer scoop (let it soften for about 20 minutes first). 3:57
Tip. Bagged frozen banana slices work too. For no added sugar, swap the maple syrup for a little stevia, as the cook suggests. Stores for a few weeks in the freezer in a jar.

Vitamin B6 High21%
0.4 mg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (95%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin C Source18%
17 mg a serve, mostly from frozen berries (53%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Potassium8%
380 mg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (84%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Magnesium7%
30 mg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (80%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Folate6%
23 µg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (77%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Omega-34%
0.1 g a serve, mostly from frozen berries (50%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Zinc3%
0.3 mg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (54%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Vitamin E3%

Vitamin K3%
4 µg a serve, mostly from frozen berries (89%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Calcium2%
29 mg a serve, mostly from unsweetened almond milk (48%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Iron2%
0.4 mg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (62%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Selenium2%
1 µg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (89%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Vitamin A0%
3.4 µg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (79%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin D0%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from unsweetened almond milk (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin B120%
0 µg a serve. Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
