Blackberry Coconut Dairy Free Ice Cream (Raw, Vegan)

Print

It’s berry and ice-cream season (ok ice-cream is an every season food I know) so I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by marrying the two into a delicious blend of blackberry super-food ice-cream – raw vegan style.

I’ve been on a real super food kick lately so I added some maqui berry powder to give it  a nutrient boost as well as infuse an extra kick of colour.

The maqui berry is often nicknamed the ‘rainforest blueberry’ and grows wild in parts of South America. It has a rich, vibrant purple colour and has a very mild taste in dried form. This makes it a great addition for smoothies and ice-creams. You can really boost the colour without dominating the taste.  As for the health benefits, maqui berries contain the highest levels of antioxidants of any other fruit (tested to date).  These antioxidants aid in neutralising free radicals and promote circulation which ultimately makes it an anti-ageing ninja.

Further Food Commentary:

This vegan, raw, superfood ice cream is perfect for a summer afternoon! Blackberries are jam packed with potassium and vitamin C, making this ice cream an antioxidant powerhouse and helping you achieve 25% of your daily Vitamin C needs with one serving. Potassium is always important but particularly needed during the hot summer months for its role in fluid regulation and hydration! And lastly, what makes this ice cream so beautiful, you may ask? Maqui powder, which is known to be loaded with anthocyanins, antioxidants responsible not only for the deep purple color but fighting inflammation! Maqui also contributes Omega 6 fatty acids, vitamins A and C, iron and potassium.
