Nice cream is an increasingly popular ice cream alternative that lacks processed sugar and dairy, yet is still packed with flavor. You\u2019ll need a blender and some bananas to get started. Peel three ripened bananas and place them in the freezer \u2014 the more ripe, the sweeter the dessert. Once fully frozen, slice the bananas into one-inch pieces, put them in the blender, and mix until smooth like custard. Then, place the mixture back into the freezer for an hour to develop a firmer consistency before you eat it. You\u2019ll be amazed at how much the natural sweetness and creamy texture mimic traditional ice cream \u2014 but without any unhealthy sugars or fats.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re not a fan of bananas, you can also use fruits like mango, peaches, or cantaloupe to serve as the base of this dish. However, bananas produce a texture that resembles normal ice cream most closely and contains a variety of critical nutrients. Each banana is high in fiber, aiding digestion, and they\u2019re loaded with potassium that helps lower blood pressure levels. You can also top each bowl of nice cream with some fresh fruit or even a bit of cinnamon or chopped mint for that added flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
