When I came across "Nice" Cream, not ice cream, I was very intrigued. Then, to discover how simple it was to "whip" up was just as better. To top that off - IT'S TRULY HEALTHY!!! The coloring for this chocolate mint comes from the spinach. You don't even taste the spinach. What a fabulous way to serve spinach to your loved ones without them even realizing they are getting their veggies and "nice-cream" in one serving. So....SNEAKY! LOL!
Ingredients:
- 4 frozen bananas
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (or mint extract)
- 1 1/2 cups of baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup of almond milk (or your choice of milk)
- 2 scoops of protein powder (I love Plant Head)
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
Break up the frozen bananas and then place them in the food processor (or blender). Add the rest of the ingredients, except the chocolate chips.
Mix until smooth. You can eat as is, if you like the soft-serve consistency or freeze for about an hour and then scoop, if you prefer your "nice" cream to be scoopable.
Note: I found it best to place the nice cream in individual serving dishes, then freeze.
Enjoy!
