Frozen Fruit-yo Dessert

Oh hai! Calling all you blender wielders- here's a frozen, healthy dessert for you. And if you happen to have a blender (I'm calling you out, TOM), then please invite some peeps over to take a break from watching Psych and make this together ^____^.
The admission fee should be to each bring one or two ingredients to add to the customization of:
Frozen Fruit-yo.

I'm sure most of you have heard me rave about the frozen yogurt place in Shibuya, Partyland, on several occasions. However, with this recipe - there is no yogurt or added sugars, flavorings, etc. It's just fruit.

YEAH, YOU HEARD ME. All you have to do is cut up and freeze some fruit, put it in a blender, and you have some healthy, naturally sweet frozen dessert. I used a few different fruits, but the most common recipe that is very popular right now, is banana ice cream, using only frozen bananas as the base to your ice cream.
And blend it up until it reaches this consistency:
You can use whatever fruits you want, blend them up separately or together - it's up to you ^___^.

But for this one...

Ingredients:
- Handful of frozen blueberries
- Handful of frozen strawberries
- 1 frozen mango
-1 not frozen banana

Possible Toppings:
- More fruit like kiwis or peaches
- Dried Fruit
- Nuts
- Sunflower seeds
- Shredded Coconut
- Dark Chocolate Pieces
- Drizzle of Honey
- Cinnamon

Directions:
1) Freeze the fruit of your choosing.
2) Take the fruit out and let the the fruit thaw out for a few minutes.
3) Put the banana with the frozen fruit in the blender and blend until you reach a smooth consistency.
4) TOPPINGS!

Possible Variations:
- Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the blender to make a chocolately dessert.
- Add peanut/any nut butter to the blender.

Grant's was prettier with the jimmies on it XD.

Remember- fruit has a lot of sugar in it, too, so try to top this dessert with things like nuts to get a more nutritious and satisfying dessert ^___^!
