Ingredients list for avocado berry banana nice cream
- Avocado – One of the best ways to start your nice cream recipe! Avocado will add plenty of healthy fats and will make your nice cream thick and creamy, as it should be. But that’s not all because avocado is literally a nutritional powerhouse and one of the best plants to help you trigger positive health changes fast.
- Banana – Just peel and add that banana into your blender! Banana is great for making delicious smoothies as well as making amazing nice creams. It adds a bit of sweetness, different nutrients and plenty of soluble and insoluble fiber. You can use perfectly ripen bananas or you can opt-in for those green-ish bananas, since both are great when used in this recipe.
- Frozen Blueberries – Berries are one of those places where you can improvise, changing-up the flavors by using the kind of berries that you have available. Using frozen berries will make for a more refreshing dessert.
- Boiled Squash – Well … this is me saying that you can always find ways to “hide” vegetables in your recipes. Just peel the squash, slice it and add it to a pot with boiling water. Boil the water for a few minutes or until the squash becomes tender and ready to serve. Remove the water and leave the squash to cool down before adding it to your smoothie.
- Boiled Veggies – I had some leftover boiled veggies from the previous night and I decided to use them as a way to thicken my nice cream a bit. What a great way to sneak-in some delicious vegetables| For best and quick results, you can always prep your veggies the night before.
- Coconut Milk – We’ll be using half a can of full-fat coconut milk. The coconut milk will help blend everything nicely and rendering a creamy texture, exactly as a delicious nice cream should be. Alternatively you can use coconut cream, just make sure to remove the water that comes in the can.
- Hemp Seeds – I used hemp seeds to decorate my nice cream. For more toppings, see the last section where I detail my favorite toppings for nice cream recipes like this one.
- Dark Chocolate – Grated dark chocolate goes perfectly on top of this purple nice cream. You can also add a bit of chocolate inside the cream … I will certainly do it the next time I’ll make this recipe.
