DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BANANA NICE CREAM

My friend Thom admitted he wanted to eat more plant-based foods but had a weakness for chocolate ice cream. His wife and I whipped up a batch of "nice cream" so Thom could see there was a healthier alternative and he loved it!!

This recipe, with its addition of maple syrup and raw almond butter, created a very rich, creamy "nice cream." I typically enjoy "nice cream" without those ingredients but Thom can start with this recipe then gradually reduce the maple syrup and almond butter as he desires to reach his health goals.

You can find the recipe at “Detoxinista” recipe blog: HOW TO MAKE BANANA ICE CREAM (NICE CREAM). The site includes how to make a variety of different flavors.
