California Avocado & Banana Frosty (Healthy Frozen Dessert)

A creamy, wholesome twist on a classic chocolate frosty

Looking for a healthy frozen treat that’s as creamy as ice cream but packed with nutrients? This California Avocado & Banana Frosty is naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and agave nectar — no refined sugar needed. The secret ingredient? Fresh California Avocados, which add a smooth, velvety texture and heart-healthy fats that make this dessert both satisfying and nourishing.

Each serving provides an excellent source of dietary fiber and a good source of potassium, vitamin C, and folate, making it a guilt-free choice for an after-school snack or light dessert.

Ingredients

• 1 ripe Fresh California Avocado, peeled, seeded, diced into ¾-inch cubes, and frozen

• 1 ½ ripe bananas, peeled, sliced into ½-inch pieces, and frozen

• 3 tablespoons agave nectar

• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil

• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt (as needed)

Tip: Large avocados (about 8 oz each) work best for this recipe. Adjust the amount if your avocados are smaller.

Instructions

1. Thaw the fruit slightly:
   Remove the avocado and banana from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

2. Blend until creamy:
   In a blender, combine the avocado, banana, agave nectar, cocoa powder, coconut oil, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend for about 60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides, then continue blending until the mixture reaches a smooth, soft-serve consistency.

3. Serve and enjoy:
   Scoop the frosty into bowls and top with your favorite healthy toppings.
