Description
Cherry Garcia is a Ben & Jerry's classic flavor, being a cherry ice cream with chunks of cherry and chocolate. Instead of the fat and added sugar bomb of traditional ice cream, this healthy nice cream uses a base of blended frozen bananas and frozen cherries to make a delicious and lower calorie treat.

- Add frozen bananas, frozen cherries, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor. Blend for about 3-5 minutes, scraping the sides every minute or so, until you have a smooth and creamy ice cream.
- Add in the chocolate chips and your remaining cherries. Pulse to roughly chop the additional cherries.
Notes
- Eat now for a more soft-serve like ice cream, or freeze for about 30 minutes to have a texture closer to hard ice cream.
