Why make your own messy nice cream?
Personally, I enjoy nice creams because they always turn out delicious and with a perfectly creamy texture, but also because there are no rules when it comes to making them.
Besides being refreshing and so easy to make, nice creams are the perfect excuse to “hide” different plants that you wouldn’t otherwise eat by themselves (not to mention daily).
Think about how many beets you’re actually eating in a week? Or how many teaspoons of hemp seeds? Even avocados are hard to eat by themselves, right?!
But when you start adding these wonderful plants into something like a nice cream, things magically change. All of a sudden you’re eating more plants and you’re doing it by enjoying a refreshing dessert. You feel better, have more energy, sleep better …. Life is great!

Ingredients for Beet Beery Messy Nice Cream
- Avocado – with plenty of good fats, fiber, some vitamins and minerals, avocado helps us obtain that perfectly creamy texture.
- Banana – with healthy carbs (including fiber), some vitamins and minerals, and plenty of sweet love, banana also makes your nice cream super creamy and delish!
- Blackberries – like all berries, blackberries are loaded with phytonutrients (including antioxidants) and they are de-li-cious in all types of blends.
- Red Beet (Beetroot) – a minerals’ powerhouse, red beets are one great source of different phytonutrients that you actually need in order to stay healthy and strong.
- Hemp Seeds – one of my favorite superfoods, hemp seed will add plenty of healthy fats and protein, but also minerals and some vitamins.
- Chia Seeds – another very popular superfood, chia seeds are loaded with healthy fats (including omega 3s), protein and healthy carbs, as well as some minerals and vitamins.
- Cacao Beans – one of the best ways you can add that fresh cacao flavor to any smoothie or nice cream.
- Himalayan Salt – we add a pinch of salt in order to balance the overall taste of this nice cream (a little goes a long way here).
- Lemon Juice – I used freshly squeezed lemon juice as a way to add a boost of antioxidants and to balance the final taste. Lemon juice will keep your nice cream fresh for longer.

How to make the best nice cream
Whenever I work on a nice cream blend, I don’t usually start with a plan in mind. Yes, I may have a short list of plants that I like using almost every time (things like banana, avocado and berries) but otherwise I like to improvise and include different random fruits and veggies.
My goal has always been to obtain a nice cream that not only tastes great but, most importantly, comes packed with healthy nutrients. And the way to achieve this goal is letting my body guide me towards adding plants that I actually feel like eating.
Yes, it’s awesome if my nice cream looks great in the end but this isn’t always my goal. And let me tell you that it’s perfectly ok to blend the nice cream that you want to blend. With the ingredients that you want to eat. That’s right!
Back to our blend, these are the steps to follow when making this messy nice cream:
- Start by prepping all the plants as needed.
- Add all of them into your blender without adding any water.
- Blend until creamy and smooth.
- DONE! Pour into a bowl, decorate and serve with a tablespoon.
Serve this beet berry messy nice cream as a power breakfast, recovery meal or nighttime snack. It’s absolutely delicious no matter the time of day!
