FROZEN FRUIT ICE CREAM SUBSTITUTE
The following can be a dessert, if eaten in small quantity, or a main fruit meal. As it is frozen, and cold/frozen food upsets the digestion, it should be eaten only rarely - as a special treat. Also, the high sugar content of modern fruit makes this an occasional treat, rather than a dietary staple. Take fresh, raw, ripe mangos. Peel and slice, store slices in plastic bag or other suitable container, and freeze. Then when you want to eat, remove from freezer and allow mangos to partially thaw. The mangos should not fully thaw: they should still have ice crystals in them. Put partially thawed mangos in blender, and puree. The result is an ice cream substitute that is 100% raw fruit, delicious, and better than any ice cream. This process can be used with other sweet fruit, such as papayas, pineapple, nectarines, mulberries, bananas, etc. It doesn't work well with watery fruit - things like citrus, grapes, strawberries; one gets a fruit ice (which does not have an ice cream-like consistency) when using watery fruit.
