When it’s hot outside, nothing cools you off like a frosty, frozen treat. If your taste buds are tired of the same old chocolate and vanilla, get ready for an explosion of flavor. These recipes are easy to make and don’t require a lot of work—your Vitamix can turn frozen fruit into a creamy dessert in minutes. And because you’re making it from scratch, there are no fillers, preservatives, or artificial flavors — just a deliciously healthy way to treat yourself!

 

Mango Basil Freeze

Sweet mango pairs with an herbaceous finish in this fruity treat.

Coffee Cocoa Nib Fudge Pops

These rich, vegan cocoa popsicles will be sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Peach Rum Frozen Yogurt

This frozen yogurt base offers a low-fat alternative to ice cream, and the peaches add such lively flavor, color, and texture. The rum is optional, but makes this a perfect dessert for entertaining!

Spiced Strawberry Ice Cream

The unusual combination of strawberries and jalapeño give this ice cream a sweet and spicy kick.

Carrot, Ginger and Orange Ice

The vibrant color from the carrots and orange is only enhanced by the zing from the ginger, which all together make for an extra-delicious icy treat.

Red, White, and Blue Pops

With a strawberry-banana top, a blueberry-grape bottom, and a vanilla yogurt middle, these patriotic frozen treats are fun to make and even more fun to eat.

Green Apple Ice Cream

With the versatility of spinach, you can even hide it in your dessert for a healthy treat with a beautiful, green color.

Shaved Ice

Simple fruit puree with water, frozen and shaved in the food processor to create a delicious whole fruit snack.

Orange Berry Vanilla Freeze

Whole oranges and vanilla bean make this frozen dessert a real crowd pleaser. Hard to blend ingredients like vanilla bean, frozen strawberries, and raspberries are no match for the power of the Vitamix machines.
