Lemon Blueberry Protein Nice Cream

This luscious lemon blueberry nice cream is a wonderful healthy ice cream alternative. And it takes just minutes to whip up this easy dessert in a food processor if you freeze the fruit ahead.

While you'll get the best flavor from fresh berries, if you don't have them on hand, feel free to use store-bought frozen fruit in this nice cream recipe.

What is Nice Cream?

It’s called ‘nice cream’ rather than ice cream, just to differentiate the two. Nice cream is a super easy, take on traditional ice cream, yet made very differently.

You don’t need one of those special ice cream churning machines, you simply use frozen bananas or other fruit, a splash of milk and some flavourings – that’s it!

It sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? Ice-cream just out of bananas – yeah right! About this little concoction, I cannot hold back. It IS amazing. You will need to keep going back and trying it and saying – that can’t be right.

It tastes like ice-cream and it is so damn good! This is definitely one for the recipe bible. You will be in awe of the creamy, fruitful deliciousness before your spoon even begins to melt into the bowl.

You can satisfy an ice cream craving guilt-free with this “nice cream“! Seems so simple, that it feels like you are cheating a bit… but to be honest – it’s delectable stuff. And let’s face it, why make it complicated when something this simple can taste insanely delightful!

Once you start making nice creams, you will stop buying store bought ice creams, the creaminess it has is nothing less than any ice cream and the plus point is, it is absolutely healthy!

It's designed to conquer those sweet cravings without compromising your dietary goals. Say goodbye to traditional dairy ice cream and hello to a luscious blend of antioxidant-rich blueberries, and creamy coconut milk.

In just a matter of minutes, you can transform these simple ingredients into a delightful dessert that everyone will love as its one heck of a power-packed purple pint.
