Grab some of your favourite fruits, the ones that are perhaps too ripe to really enjoy eating and throw them into the freezer for a couple of hours. After checking if they are chilled enough, you can then move on adding milk, or ice-cream then blend it all together. For a healthy version, the frozen fruit blend alone could also be an enjoyable and refreshing snack.
