Recipe: I scream Ice cream!

There's one food I can't say no to: ice cream! But all ice creams that you get in grocery stores are full of nasty ingredients that our body doesn't need. I am also slightly dairy intolerant, makes my stomach hurt, so big company ice creams are a total no no for me. Today I'll show you how to prepare super simple and inexpesive ice cream. Nutritous, delicious and guilt free!

Ingredients:
- frozen strawberries (I think I used 12 of them ;))
- one frozen banana (I suggest you slice it and put in a plastic container before putting it into freezer)
- 1 tsp of peanut butter

Preparation:

I suggest you use strong food processor/blender for this recipe. I put frozen banana in food processor first and processed it. I added strawberries and processed again.

At the end I added one teaspoon of peanut butter and mix one last time, so everything is well combined.

If you are allergic to peanuts, you can add other nut butter, and if you're allergic to nuts, you can use one scoop of protein powder or coconut flour or flakes. I always try to incorporate some sort of protein source when I eat fruits. Fruits are carbohydrates full of natural sugars and protein helps to stabilize your blood sugar. Also, you'll feel fuller for longer time.

Let me know if you tried this recipe out and how you liked it ;)

Recipe: vegan ice cream/ frozen yogurt

Before summer says final goodbye I want to share simple, delicious vegan ice cream recipe. I've been making it for dinner on really hot days and whenever I needed something sweet and some food comforting :). My roommate fell in love with it and she will be probably happy about this post :D

You will need (for 2 portions):

- cashews (pre-soaked in water overnight or at least 2 hours)
- two frozen bananas (I chop them, put them in a plastic bowl and freeze them)
- frozen strawberries or any kind of berries will do
- nectarine or any kind of fresh fruit (instead of that you can also use soy or almond milk)
- *optional* agave nectar or maple syrup or stevia

You actually just put everything in the food processor (or blender or anything that mixes food :D) and mix mix mix until smooth. Consistency has to be thicker, like an ice cream.

I had to do it a bit differently, because I only have this little mixer (food processor?) and had to mix every ingredient separately. First mixed only frozen strawberries and put them in a bowl. Then cashews and put them in a bowl.

Then bananas and put them in a bowl. Then nectarine and then put everything together and mix again.

Little bit time consuming, but so worth it! :D

ice cream is served!

Nectarine actually combines all ingredients together. Instead of nectarine you can also use soy or almond milk and add just a little bit, so it doesn't get too liquidy.

Serve immediately. I have never tried to put it in a freezer, so I don't know if you can store it for later.

Try it out and let me know how it turned out!
Enjoy summer while it's still here! :)
