Read Before Making a Nice Cream
- Fruits offer plenty of sugar to sweeten your dish, so try to limit/avoid adding more.
- That extra sugar can be a problem if you add too much fruit to the dish. Do not exceed 2 servings of fruit per serving!
- There is no perfect amount of each ingredient to put in, and nice creams typically are super healthy, so add amounts you want to a taste you enjoy and be proud of yourself for making a great choice!
Selecting Your Ingredients
Ingredients are broken down into two categories: Bases and Add-ins. You will need the bases to make a nice cream. The rest is added for additional flavor and nutritional benefit.
1. Bases (Pick At Least 1)
Nice cream’s base comprises of 1 frozen banana (cut into small pieces) and 1/4 cup of milk/milk alternative. The best time to freeze the bananas is when they are turning brown, as they are sweeter at that point.
Some Suggested Milk/Milk Alternatives
Serving Size: 1/4 Cup
Additional Ingredients to Consider Adding
Beyond the bases, there are a number of awesome ingredients you can add for flavor and additional benefits!
Fruit:
Buy frozen fruit, or freeze fruit going bad. It is cheaper and lasts longer.
Serving Size: A Handful of Berries/Cherries, 1/2 Mango, 1/4-1/2 Cup Pineapple
Vegetables:
Leafy greens work best. They do not alter flavor or texture drastically
Serving Size: 1/2 cup of leafy greens.
Nuts & Seeds:
Serving Size: 1 Tablespoon (high calorie, do not exceed 2 tablespoons in one serving!)
Other:
Serving Size: To taste (do not exceed 3 pieces of a chocolate bar, 1 tablespoon of cacao, or 1 scoop of protein powder)
NOTE: If you want to add chocolate, we recommend 70+% cacao for optimal benefits.
Instructions
Step 1:
Add all of your chosen ingredients into the blender
Step 2:
Whirl in the blender for about 1 minute, or until mixture is smooth.
Step 3:
If the mixture is too thick or chunky, add your chosen milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it properly blends. If it is too liquid, congrats you have made a delicious smoothie! Or you can add a bit more frozen fruit to thicken the dish.
