Frozen Treats, Zero Fuss: Make Ice Cream in Your PROMiXX SENSE This Summer
Turn frozen fruit into ice cream or fro-yo in minutes with your PROMiXX SENSE. No extra machines, just smart blending, simple steps, and summer flavor.
Read time: 10 minutes
Working out in intense July heat calls for something cold and creamy but hauling out an ice-cream machine or buying expensive pints of ice cream feels like overkill. Well we have good news: your PROMiXX SENSE intelligent portable blender can turn a handful of frozen ingredients into a soft- serve-style ice cream base in no time.
Why the SENSE Handles “Nice Cream” So Well
- Room to breathe: That huge 600ml / 20oz bottle lets you blend enough for two generous bowls without stopping to tamp or stir.
- Pre-programmed power: Intelligent pre-programmed cycles make for perfect mixing and blending, breaking down the most stubborn chunks - no guesswork required.
- Smart anti-jam + bi-directional blades: If the motor senses a stall, it reverses, then drives forward again so frozen fruit keeps moving and blades slice from both directions for a smooth, spoonable finish.
What the SENSE doesn’t do is chill ingredients (there’s no built-in freezer). Think of it as a turbo mixer: you start with food that’s already frozen, the blender turns it into a thick soft-serve, and then you pop the mixture in your freezer for 1–2 hours to firm up.
The 3-Step Blueprint for Blender Ice Cream
1. Freeze your base
Ripe bananas are the MVP here - peel, slice, and freeze overnight. They puree into a creamy, custard-like body without extra dairy.
2. Load the SENSE (liquids first).
- 60-80 ml (1⁄4-1⁄3 cup) dairy or plant milk helps the blades catch.
- 1-2 frozen bananas (or roughly 11⁄2 cups of other frozen fruit).
- Flavor boosters: cocoa, nut butter, vanilla, a pinch of salt.
3. Let the Blender with a Brain Take the Lead
- Trust your SENSE blender to understand exactly what you need. It’ll detect the consistency and blend and pulse until the results are perfect.
Four Flavor Ideas (All Below the Lid Line)
Flavor | What to Add | Notes |
Classic Vanilla | 2 frozen bananas, 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract, splash of milk | Sweet enough without extra sugar. |
Chocolate-PB Swirl | 1 banana, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 2 ice cubes | Add cocoa first so it hydrates and blends smooth. |
Strawberry Shortcake | 1 banana, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 biscuit crumbled in after blending | Pulse cookie crumbs at the end for texture. |
Mango Coconut | 1 banana, 1 cup frozen mango, 2 tbsp coconut milk, squeeze of lime | Bright, tropical, dairy-free. |
Tip: For firmer scoops, transfer the blend to a lidded tub and freeze 90 minutes, stirring once halfway.
Want a Healthier Spin? Make Fro-Yo
Alright, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Ice cream may be delicious but it's not exactly healthy - loaded with saturated fat and calories. Well, by swapping the base you can indulge with a lighter macro profile:
- Use Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) instead of milk/cream.
- Freeze it in an ice-cube tray first - frozen yogurt cubes blitz into a thick blend just like bananas.
- Sweeten smartly. A drizzle of honey or a few dates can beat the added sugar levels often hiding in store-bought fro-yo.
- Bonus probiotic points. Live-culture yogurt may support gut health - a benefit ice cream lacks.
Opinions vary, but in general frozen yogurt offers similar protein, less fat, and sometimes fewer calories than ice cream. Though brands often compensate with more sugar, so keep an eye on the label.
Blend, Freeze, Scoop, Enjoy... in Moderation
With SENSE’s smart motor and spacious bottle, blender ice cream (or frozen yogurt) goes from idea to bowl in under five minutes. Just remember the basics:
- Start frozen, finish frozen - your blender blends, your freezer sets.
- Don’t over-sweeten. Frozen fruit already tastes sweeter at cold temps.
- Moderation wins. Even homemade treats pack calories, so treat them like any dessert.
Fire up those blades, ditch the store-bought tubs, and taste summer straight from your PROMiXX SENSE. No countertop appliance (or queue at the gelato shop) required.
