Healthy, sugar free, chemical free, gluten-free, homemade, simple and DELICIOUS ice cream! Or…. NICE cream 🙂
Sounds too good to be true, right ?
Well now you can try it out and decide for yourself 🙂
This is quite popular in the States, especially in Hawaii and California also parts of Australia. For the past few years I have been making this at home for me and my sons as an amazing alternative to regular ice cream. My sons don’t eat dairy and I love giving them this instead, plus we skip all the added sugar. I actually like it very much and I used to have this as well during my pregnancies. I was pregnant during the summer months both times, so ice cream was definitely a common craving.
I peel 3 bananas and cut them in two or three pieces, wrap them in aluminum and place in my freezer. You can also freeze a bunch and then you have it handy whenever you want to make a nice cream.
-Take your bananas out of the freezer and place them in a high-speed blender and let them sit there for about 5 minutes. It will be easier to blend them if they first defrost a bit in room temperature.
– Add a half cup coconut water and homemade almond milk or Hemp milk.
– Few dashes of cinnamon
– Teaspoon organic vanilla
– Tablespoon raw organic cacao powder.
Now you may start to blend this slowly and as you see your mixture start to mix you can pulse it a few times and then slowly increase the speed. If you need help in allowing the mixture to blend, you may always add more of the liquids that you are using. Just be careful not to use too much as it may lose thickness. It can be a bit tricky to get it started, but you will get the hang of it pretty fast as you practice. It is important to have a good and strong blender.
Very simple and healthy – now you can have healthy ice cream! Best news of the week.
For an extra boost feel free to add a tablespoon of hemp seeds to your mixture 🙂 You can also add your favorite toppings; such as strawberries, blueberries or a good granola.
Buon appetito 🙂
