“A pint of Ben & Jerry’s…sure why not?” This was always my thought as I passed the frozen food aisle in the grocery store, that is, until I was turned on to the beauty of ‘nice cream’. Once again, this recipe goes back to my love for bananas, but let me tell you, it was a glorious discovery. If you have an unquenchable sweet tooth, and obsession with ice cream the recipe below is a perfect replacement for the pint packed with dairy, calories and added sugars.
This is my favorite recipe to date, but just like the oats feel free to play around with different fruits and flavors. Sometimes I add cocoa powder or vanilla to the combination to give it a kick. Feel free to do PB2 and even Greek yogurt. Get creative!
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 mango
- ¼ of a fresh avocado
- ¼ cup of almond milk
Instructions
- Chop up banana and mango, put in a bowl and stick in the freezer
- NOTE: I usually do this while I’m cooking dinner, but you can also store large amount of frozen fruit in freezer for long periods of time. I just prefer fresh!
- Once fruit is completely frozen, but into blender with avocado and almond milk
- Blend until everything is a thick ice-cream/smoothie-esk consistency
- Serve in a bowl with cocoa powder and honey syrup, or just fresh fruit!
Eat the whole bowl and feel guilt-f*ckin-free 😉
Best part is….a giant bowl of ‘nice’cream will set you back only the cost of the fruit, so no more paying upwards of $5 for a pint of B&J’s!
