Healthy homemade ice cream recipes

With the heat kicking in, there’s nothing better to cool down than this selection of healthy homemade ice cream recipes. No need to worry about calories or additives anymore!

You can make all of these yourself at home using some of the same ingredients we use in our Healthy Poke bowls.

The result? A refreshing, naturally sweet treat you can enjoy without guilt.

Let’s get started!

Mango, fresh cheese, and berry granita

This refreshing combo is packed with antioxidants and other health benefits from the berries. To serve about 4 people, you’ll need:

  • 300 g fresh cheese

  • 100 g mixed berries

  • Juice of 1 large orange

  • 1 ripe mango

  • 1 lime (zest)

  • Crushed ice

  • Chopped cashews or peanuts

Start by heating the berries and orange juice on low until the fruit softens—you can mash it a bit with a spoon to speed it up. Optionally, add vanilla extract, a sugar substitute, or stevia depending on your taste.

Blend the mango with lime zest and mix with crushed ice. Then, in individual cups, layer the mango mixture with the fresh cheese and berry reduction. Top with chopped cashews or peanuts for crunch.

Simple healthy mango ice cream

For something even easier, just peel and dice a ripe mango into small cubes (about 1 cm), freeze them, then blend!

That’s it—no additives, no added sugar, just a natural, summery treat.

You can follow the same process using other fruits like banana, or combine them.

Want a creamier texture? Add a splash of milk or a spoon of plain yogurt for a finish that rivals any ice cream shop.

Lemon granita

One of the most popular and refreshing options—especially with a classic flavor like lemon. You’ll need:

  • 10 ice cubes

  • Juice of 3 lemons

  • Lemon zest

  • Stevia or natural sweetener

Peel the lemons and zest them. Squeeze the juice and strain it to remove pulp.

Blend the zest and juice together before adding the crushed ice. Mix everything until it becomes a slushy texture, then sweeten to your taste.

We hope these healthy homemade ice cream recipes help you cool down deliciously.
