Plum ice cream

My stepbrother brought over some deliciously ripe plums last week, and since I wasn't in the mood for them, I chopped them up and threw them in the freezer. This made a great ice cream that took a whole 60 seconds to make. 

Ingredients:

-1 cup frozen plums

-2 frozen ripe bananas

-1/4 cup coconut milk

1. Chop frozen bananas and add all ingredients in vitamix or food processor and blend till smooth. 

2. Scoop in bowl and freeze for several hours for a firmer texture. 

Enjoy it in your mouth!

Neapolitan ice cream

This is my new favorite addiction that I've just been devouring, covering my face in chocolate. Sorry I'm not sorry. Growing up as a kid this was the ice cream I usually had in my freezer, and now it's just so much better for me.

Ingredients:

-4 frozen bananas 

-1/2 cup frozen strawberries 

-1/4 cup cocoa powder

-2 packets stevia

-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Bend 1.5 bananas with vanilla till smooth. Pour in bowl.

2. Blend 1 banana and 1/2 cup strawberries. Layer over vanilla. 

3. Blend cocoa, stevia, and 1.5 bananas. Layer over strawberry. 

4. Freeze for at least two hours till firm.

Triple berry ice cream

I have been on a workout kick, especially since my birthday is coming up in 25 days! So while I spend almost every day at the gym I'm also finding more creative delicious ways to add my protein powder into my diet. But this is great without the protein powder as well if you just want something fruity, cold, and sweet.

Ingredients:

-2 frozen bananas

-2 cups frozen berries (I used raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries)

-Handful of dates 

-Scoop of pea protein (optional)

-Dark chocolate and half a teaspoon of coconut oil

1. Throw bananas, berries, dates, and protein powder in vitamix/high speed blender/food processor.

2. Blend till smooth. 

3. Melt chocolate and coconut oil together (I used a shot glass to mix the chocolate and coconut oil) and top on ice cream. 

Enjoy it in your mouth!

Nutty Caramel Sauce

So I spent the day in Santa Monica/Venice Beach yesterday with my best friend. I decided to make us food instead of buying food that'll make us feel like crap after. Protein ice cream for breakfast, quinoa salad for lunch, and sliced apples with my nutty caramel sauce for dinner(ish).

This sauce is so good, I decided to make more of it for myself today (and Pumpkin, he goes bananas over anything sweet, like bananas). This is great for anyone who wants a sugar kick but doesn't want to eat refined sugar, and much better than some liquid sugar with brown dye #2 and caramel flavoring.

Ingredients:
-2 large handfuls of dates
-1/4 cup cashews (or any other type of nut/seed)
-splash of coconut milk


1. Throw in dates, cashews, and coconut milk in high speed blender (hello my lovely Vitamix).

2. Blend on high for several minutes, scraping down sides every so often, adding more coconut milk if wanting a thinner consistency (I like mine having a bit of crunch from the cashews).

3. Eat with sliced apples, celery, chocolate, on its own.


Enjoy it in your mouth!
