Guilt-Free Banana Mango "Nice" Cream: Vegan, Dairy Free, Raw, Delicious

Anybody else love ice cream so much that you crave it on a daily basis? I know I sure do. I mean it's just so creamy and lovely. But it also comes with a lot of baggage: sugar, calories, guilt. Did you know you can make your own ice cream in just a few minutes with just a few ingredients? And did you also know that this homemade ice cream can be guilt-free while also being vegan and dairy-free? Are you jumping up and down with excitement, anxious for the recipe? Well, wait no further! Here's a recipe for yummy, simple, healthy banana mango "nice" cream. And you don't need an ice cream maker. Any old blender (or food processor will do).

Guilt-Free Banana Mango "Nice" Cream


Ingredients:

1 large banana, frozen (if you use a fresh one, just add some ice to the recipe)
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 Tbsp. almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Cinnamon to taste



Add all ingredients to a blender and BLEND. If you're using an older blender like I am, be patient and stir a lot. My blender struggles a bit with blending the frozen fruit, but with a little patience and love, the result is so worth the wait.

Top your "nice" cream with whatever toppings you choose. OR eat it plain. It's so delicious that it doesn't need any toppings. But for a little extra loveliness I added a middle layer of granola (that you can barely see in the picture to the left), and a topping of shredded coconut, more granola, and a few dark chocolate chips.


Feel free to add other frozen berries or nut butters making different combinations and flavors. Have fun with it, make it your own, and you'll have a nice little treat for when you can no longer curb the ice cream cravings.

ENJOY! :)
