Mango Banana Nice Cream with Coconut Milk

Approx. Time:
10 min prep • 2-3 hr optional freeze time
Servings:
4 servings

This recipe is one of my go-to desserts — especially on those days when I want something sweet but still want to feel good after eating it. And let’s be honest, we all have those moments where we just need a little treat, but don’t want to feel like we’ve overdone it. This mango banana nice cream hits every note — creamy, naturally sweet, tropical, and with a little protein punch to make it feel like it counts for something 😄

The first time I made this, I threw it together with whatever I had in the freezer and didn’t expect much… but WOW. It was so good my son asked for seconds, and I knew I had to write it down properly. It’s perfect for after school, post-workout, or honestly… as a dinner substitute on hot summer days (don’t judge me).

The best part? It’s so easy. Blend, freeze (if you want), and top with something crunchy like pistachios. I use Truvani protein powder because I love the clean ingredients — no weird stuff, and it tastes amazing.

This is a feel-good recipe that’s actually good for you. Try it once, and I promise it’ll be on repeat.

Ingredient List

  • 3 frozen ripe bananas
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1 scoop Truvani vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • Chopped pistachios (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Start with the base:
    Add frozen bananas, frozen mango, and coconut milk to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add in the good stuff:
    Scrape down the sides and add Greek yogurt, almond butter, protein powder, and vanilla extract. Blend again until fully combined.
  3. Freeze if you want:
    If you like a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for 2–3 hours. Otherwise, you can eat it soft-serve style right away.
  4. Serve and enjoy:
    Scoop into bowls and top with chopped pistachios. Toast them first if you want extra crunch and flavor. You can also drizzle a little honey or sprinkle flaky salt — so good!
