You can have your NICE CREAM and eat it, too!

 

These 5 Nice Cream Recipes are fantastic and good for you!  They are high in potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, fiber, and low in calories, cholesterol, and fat!

 

I demonstrated the recipes on Facebook Live, so you can check out the video here.

 

 

These 5 Nice Cream Recipes are so easy and fun to create that you will be experimenting with your own fun flavors in no time! The base to the Nice Creams are bananas, but you can experiment with other fruits.  You can try peach nice cream, strawberry nice cream, raspberry, blueberry, you’re only limited by your imagination.

TIP: Make sure your bananas are ripe when you freeze them!

 Ingredients for Banana

2 frozen bananas

Directions for Banana

1. Peel 2 bananas, slice, and freeze.

2. Blend 2 frozen bananas until they resemble soft serve ice cream. It might take several minutes depending on your blender.

Makes a nice generous portion. It’s around 200 calories without any toppings.

 

That’s it!  Easy breezy!  You can add this to your morning oats, have it as an afternoon snack or dessert.  Best of all its good for you, so no beating yourself up for eating ice cream.

 

BTW, you don’t have to beat yourself up for enjoying treats.  Budget for them and enjoy them!  I talk more about Intentionally Eating and how I lost 125 lbs in my book Small Bites, Big Results: A Common Sense Guide to Weight Loss.  Check it out if you want to break free from guilt dieting!
