HEALTHY ICE CREAM RECIPE

HEALTHY ICE CREAM RECIPE

This is great, you don't have to give up ice cream, just make your own healthy version, here is just one recipe I found, but there are many different kind of recipes out there without all the fat, sugar and added items you can't even pronounce : )

Cardamom-Scented Peach Ice Cream

Description

The soft, delicate flavor of summer peaches swirls together with sweet vanilla and the subtle spicy warmth of cardamon, all combined in a base cold, creamy dairy-free ice cream! What's not to absolutely adore about this recipe!

I made one using only bananas, organic chocolate peanut butter sweetened with evaporated cane juice and raw nuts, and a little organic almond milk, it was great too. Keep cool this Summer!
