400g (ish) of frozen fruit (mango, pineapple, banana, anything really, i use a pre-made smoothie mix).
Splash of milk (oat milk works) or something like natural or greek yoghurt.
bit of sugar, sugar substitute, syrup etc. for sweetness (adjust for fruit). Can even use a flavoured syrup if you want.
Load into food processor and pulse a bit until it starts to break up (add water if it is being stubborn). Once it gets going just go full blast until it is smooth, creamy and all lumps have gone then eat. I store some in the freezer for later - you do lose that amazing texture a little but its still so tasty and very welcome in this heat.
I do something similar inspired by a smoothie from the bubble tea place. I brew double strength jasmine green tea ahead of time. Then I add frozen fruit to a container, add tea to the level of the fruit, add a syrup or sugar, and blend. Refreshing on a hot day 🏝️
Oh thats a fun idea, I have an awful lot of different teas, there is a green one flavoured with pandan I like in summer (that i have a silly amount of) so may try with that!
Cheaty sorbet (or sorbet-ish).

Oh I’m definitely making sorbet this week. I forgot how easy it it to make.
