I can only describe this ice-cream in one way…healthy heaven in a bowl! It’s nutritious ingredients made into one mouth-watering sweet, sticky and crunchy ball of deliciousness! It’s so good it honestly just makes me smile. Make it your new Ben & Jerry’s, serve it with baked fruits, have it as your breakfast bowl or enjoy it in it’s own glory!

It’s literally protein packed nuts with creamy fruits and a little dash of superfood cinnamon and almond milk. One of my quickest recipes to make and a huge crowd pleaser! The dates and banana make the ice-cream classically creamy and sticky and then there’s the little crushed walnut pieces that give it texture and crunch.

It’s a vitamin and mineral rich ice-cream with natural sweetness from the dates and banana. The healthy fats and protein in the walnuts will also work to slow down the absorption of the natural sugars into your bloodstream, which all combined means you can enjoy this incredibly natural ice-cream, guilt-free! Long gone are the days when ice-cream equalled fat storing and bad , it’s now totally ON limits every day!

Enjoy! Remember to tag me on Instagram with your creations, get imaginative with the pairing!
