Ingredients:
1 cup organic frozen strawberries
1 cup almond or coconut milk
½ frozen banana
handful of cashews
splash of vanilla extract
3-4 ice cubes
1 square of dark chocolate
Directions:
Blend all ingredients well (except dark chocolate) in a NutriBullet, food processor or high quality blender. Add a splash of water if you’re looking more for a shake-texture (or eliminate the ice above). Carefully using a knife, finely chop the square of dark chocolate and sprinkle on top (optional). This makes one large serving of homemade “soft serve” style of ice cream, or you can split it with someone to both enjoy!
Benefits of Strawberries:
Strawberries are a unique combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients. It’s why they’re great for cardiovascular support and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, improved regulation of blood sugar, with decreased risk of type 2 diabetes, and prevention of certain cancer types including breast, cervical, colon, and esophageal cancer. They’re a gorgeous seasonal superfood rich with vitamin C! *Always buy organic strawberries.
