Have you ever made your own ice cream? If you have a powerful blender, it is super easy to blend up a batch in just a few minutes. Plus it is healthy and incredibly delicious! This Strawberry Peach Nice Cream is the perfect pre-bedtime bite.
A closer look at what’s inside:
Banana
Frozen bananas make the BEST healthy ice cream (or nice cream)! They are super creamy and the frozen texture is very similar to ice cream. Bananas are also filled with potassium and magnesium to relax overworked muscles and relieve anxiety in preparation for sleep.
Peach
While peaches aren’t a significant source of any particular nutrient, they contain fiber, vitamin C, and carotenoids which are thought to reduce the risk of certain disease and cancer.
Strawberry
Strawberries pair wonderfully with peaches! They are packed with antioxidants to help detox the body and are low glycemic index so you don’t have to worry about a blood sugar spike before bed.
Yogurt
Containing probiotics, yogurt improves gut health and adds creaminess to this recipe. I opted for unsweetened plain dairy-free yogurt in this recipe, but you can use whatever kind you want. Look for a variety that doesn’t add too much sugar as this recipe is plenty sweet from all of the fruit.
Moon Brew Apple Cider Vinegar Tonic
Made from raw apple cider vinegar, this health tonic is filled with herbs, spices, and superfoods to support your system and calm your mind. I used Mind Your Manna’s UPLIFT Strawberry that is crafted to brighten your mood — brewed with rose petals, lemon balm, hibiscus flowers, cinnamon, licorice, fennel seeds, and strawberries. I seriously love this stuff!! Want to try? Order from mindyourmanna.co and save 15% with discount code RAINBOWL.
If you don’t have Moon Brew on hand or to make this recipe vegan (Moon Brew contains wildflower honey) you can sub for 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
Pitaya Powder — for color
I use pitaya powder (or dragon fruit powder) often for its beautiful pink color. Aside from the wonderful color, this powder also boosts immunity, promotes a healthy gut, and is a good source of magnesium.
