Our resident nutritionist Linda Heredia, has shared with us her favourite summer recipe. This recipe is so simple as a no-churn ice cream or popsicle – perfect for these summer months or anytime you are craving a cold, delicious treat! Bonus – it’s packed with more potassium than bananas and loaded with healthy fats to keep you feeling satiated!
Serves: 10 small ice cream bowls or 10 iced pops
Ingredients
-
2 medium ripe avocados
-
3 tablespoons cacao powder
-
3 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice such as honey, stevia, monk fruit)
-
3 tablespoons almond butter
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
2 cups Coconut Milk (from a can – you can also substitute for your milk preference but a heavier, thicker cream works best)
-
Optional: Cacao Nibs or Cacao Shavings
Instructions
-
Blend together the avocados with cacao powder, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla, coconut milk, and sea salt. Blend until smooth.
-
Pour into container (or you can use ice pop molds if you want popsicles) and freeze overnight (or 9+ hours). No churning required.
-
If you are using cacao nibs or shavings you can add this on top
If you are making them as pops let them sit out for a minute or two or run under warm water to loosen and then pull out. Enjoy!
