Red Beet Vegan Ice Cream
Servings: 3 servings (4 scoops/serving)
Print RecipeThis red beet vegan ice cream really hits the spot for me. It's smooth and naturally creamy, naturally sweet and low-carb, plus it’s delicious and always nourishing. You have to try it to really appreciate it!
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 4 medium bananas (peeled)
- 1 big avocado (skin and seed removed)
- 1 beetroot (peeled, chopped big)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by peeling and chopping them as indicated.
- You’ll have to freeze the ingredients before processing them in a blender. Take 2 plastic bags and place half of the ingredients in each bag.
- Move the bags in the freezer for a few hours, until frozen.
- Remove from the freezer, remove frozen ingredients from bags and transfer them into the blender. Let the frozen ingredients sit in the blender for 5-10 minutes before processing. Since they are rock solid, your blender may have problem processing ice-like ingredients out of the freezer.
- Using the pulse and high-speed settings, process the ingredients until they reach a creamy soft consistency. Stop the blender from time to time and scrape the contents towards the center of the blender jar.
- Once your ice cream has reached the desired texture, transfer into a bowl and portion into desired sizes using an ice cream scoop.
- DONE! You can serve it as is or store in the freezer for up to a week (and even longer).
Notes
Important - Since we deal with frozen ingredients here, you will need a powerful blender that can easily chop everything with an ice-like consistency.
While there is more than one way of making healthy vegan ice cream, for this recipe we’ll be freezing all the ingredients prior to blending them into delicious ice cream.
It may sometimes happen that you’ll be left with small chunks of ingredients that haven’t been completely blended (a piece of avocado here, a piece of beetroot there). That’s totally acceptable and I wouldn’t worry too much.
The whole blending process can be a little noisy since we’re dealing with frozen ingredients and a high-speed blender.
