Citrus Greens Nice Cream (Dairy-Free Ice Cream)

Print

My sweet tooth has always held up ice cream as the holy grail of desserts. Add chocolate into the mix? I may marry the bowl. Fast foward one year and one dairy-dissing stomach, however, and my taste buds have gone bananas…in the best of ways.

I’d heard of banana nice cream before from fellow allergy-friendly blogs or Instagram posts, but I always figured it would taste more like fruity ice than the Dairy Queen of my dreams. One desperate summer night, though, I threw some frozen naners, a little water, and a lot of hope into my blender…and out popped a delicious bowl of frozen delight.

Packed with nutrients and easily adaptable to every pair of picky tastebuds…it’s easy to see why I devour a tower of nanaicecream every day for breakfast or a post-workout treat.

Further Food Commentary:

This recipe has tons of fruits and veggies, making it a healthful treat that packs quite a punch of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. The coconut and avocado add healthful fats, and the chia seeds and yogurt add some protein. This is a terrific mini meal, especially if it tastes as good as it sounds.
