Frozen banana & blueberry "ice cream"

I am one of many happy Champion juicer owners who enjoys doing this.  Many, including myself, refer to it as ice cream.  But it is really just frozen fruit made creamy by processing it through a Champion juicer.  There is no cream or dairy at all in this yummy treat.  It is vegetarian and vegan, is made with whole foods, and is very simple in its ingredient list:  frozen bananas (which I like to always have on hand) and frozen blueberries.  You can do this with many other types of fruit, of course.

The Champion juicer comes with a blank plate for creating something like this.  (When you want to juice your fresh fruits or veggies, you would not use the blank plate; you would use the screen attachment that comes with the juicer.)

Just as creamy as ice cream!
I love how the mug I chose for this (given to me by a friend) has fruit painted on it -- including blueberries!
Perhaps in the near future, I'll make this with bananas, peaches and blueberries -- served in this mug, of course! ;)

I love the swirls of color!
And there was the occasional piece of frozen blueberry to chew on.
YUM.

Even George, the Boston terrier that I am watching for a friend, got to enjoy some!  Too bad I didn't think to take a picture of that. :(

Beautiful colors!
