No ice cream maker, no added sugar, no compromise.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
-
Add the frozen banana and mango to your Vitamix, then pour in the milk. Put the lid on and make sure the tamper is in hand.
-
Start on low and ramp up to high speed. Use the tamper to push the frozen fruit down into the blades — it’ll be thick and resistant at first, which is exactly right. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30–45 seconds total.
-
Serve right away for soft-serve texture. For firmer scoops, scrape into a container and freeze for 30–60 minutes.

Notes
Lenny & Shalva’s notes:
Recipe is configured for a 48-ounce container. If you’re using a low-profile 64-ounce (wide body), make a 1.5 or double batch.
The tamper is non-negotiable here — without it you’ll be tempted to add too much liquid and end up with a smoothie. Use the tamper to gently push ingredients down into the blade. If you’re on high speed, you’re good – your machine is made to handle this task.
Frozen fruit sweetness varies a lot by brand; taste before serving and add a small squeeze of lime or a drizzle of honey if it needs a lift. Leftovers freeze well but will get hard — let them sit at room temp for 5 minutes before scooping.
