Blueberry banana walnut ice cream

yogurtWe saw a gal on Dr. Oz’s show who lost a lot of weight (like ~200#… holy cow that’s amazing!) eating the “Eat To Live” way. She had a major sweet tooth, so found that she still craved sweets. She created this adaptation of Dr. Fuhrman’s Banana Walnut Ice Cream, by adding some blueberries. Delish!

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS:

1 frozen banana
2 tablespoons walnut
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup almond milk

DIRECTIONS:

Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender, serve immediately. Can be doubled. (Note: I like to put in the freezer and eat when it’s even more firm. Really feels like you’re eating ice cream!)

Recipe: Chocolate cherry ice cream

We love this dessert! Great with banana or berries instead of cherries too.

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup vanilla soy, hemp, or almond milk
1 tablespoon natural cocoa powder
4 dates, pitted
1 1/2 cups dark sweet frozen cherries
[We added 1/2 cup of ice for extra creamy goodness]

DIRECTIONS:
Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, add only half the cherries and blend until smooth, then add the remaining cherries and continue to blend.

Variation: Use berries or banana instead of cherries. Freeze ripe bananas at least 24 hours in advance. To freeze, peel, cut into thirds, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
