Banana-Based Lactose-Free Fruit Smooth

Resilient's Note:

This delicious and healthy treat has delighted all who've tried it! The unfrozen ripe banana provides a creamy base, negating the need for yogurt or cream. I've found that when I use frozen fruit I have to reduce the amount of ice and increase the amount of chilled water to retain a smooth consistency.
