Fresh Fruit "Ice Cream" Topped With Chopped Almonds and Dark Chocolate

Fresh Fruit "Ice Cream" Topped With Chopped Almonds and Dark Chocolate

We all love ice cream in this house, but it's not exactly the healthiest of treats. The sugar content alone is enough to steer my interests elsewhere. Besides, if I'm going to have a sweet treat, I'd rather it be from a natural source, such as fruit, honey, or dark chocolate. The best part? This tasty little treat is good for you!

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups Assorted Fresh Fruit Chunks
  (I purchase my fresh fruit, chop it into chunks, and store it in the freezer so it can be readily accessible. This time around I used: Pineapple, Cantaloupe, Strawberries, and Blueberries; but I mix up the combinations all the time, depending on what I have on hand.)

• 1 Banana

• 6 Ounces Greek Yogurt

• 1 Cup Pumpkin

• 2 Tablespoons Honey

• 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
  

Optional Toppings:

• Chopped Almonds

• Chopped Dark Chocolate

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend well. Pour the blended mixture into a container and allow it to freeze. It's good to give it a day, or so, to allow it to freeze thoroughly. Once it is frozen, scoop it out into a bowl and top it with the chopped almonds and dark chocolate.
