I don't buy ice cream much, because it's not especially healthy and we don't want Baby B getting used to the idea of sweet desserts. We have dessert every night, but it's either fruit or cheese unless it's a very special occasion. This, however, is probably about as healthy an ice cream as you can get. I don't have an ice cream maker, but you don't need one if all your ingredients are frozen and you have a food processor whose blade can handle it.
This isn't an exact recipe, but I was clearing out my freezer and found some bags of frozen mangoes, cherries, and bananas. I mixed about two cups of the fruit with 2 tablespoons of yogurt and whizzed them all up in the food processor until they'd achieved the texture of ice cream. Baby B and I had it for an afternoon snack and it was joyfully received. If you wanted to be extra-virtuous, you could throw in a handful of raw or frozen spinach or kale, which wouldn't alter the taste, but would give you an effortless serving of your daily green leafy vegetable.
