Banana Nice Cream with a nutritional boost! Made with Bananas, Homegrown Mint, Moringa Powder and Cacao Nibs. This recipe also has a couple of optional extra ingredients…read on to find out more!
Healthy, refreshing + seasonal eats.💚
This Summer has been substantially dry and sunny here in Wales,UK...Shock! With many Ice Cream opportunities too valuable to miss out on, I set out to create a healthy alternative Ice cream that is Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free AND Healthy!
Moringa Leaf powder is a the main event in this recipe and a superfood! It is a highly nutrient dense antioxidant and compared with Kale, Moringa has more Protein, Calcium and 6x more Iron! Making it a great food source for vegans and anyone in need of treating an Iron deficiency.
    ÂAnother reason to try Moringa Leaf Powder is for its Anti-inflammatory properties. Moringa includes Polyphenols which is beneficial to help fight against Oxygen-free radicles (that can lead to inflammation and a build up of cholesterol). Making it a brilliant source to keep close by during this strange year of Lock Down, as a go to health booster. It has never been more important to take back control of your health and well being!
    ÂSince introducing Moringa into my diet over the past year, I have seen many positive benefits for the body and mind. I have found it beneficial for:
   ÂImproving Skin and Hair qualityÂ
     ÂHelping to balance Blood Sugar Levels
    ÂHelping to reduce feelings of stress and unease
     ÂIn this Moringa, Mint Choc Chip Banana Nice Cream recipe I set out to make the most of all the home grown Mint in my garden! This is where the inspiration behind the recipe arose. Mint is readily available in many gardens across the UK and globally due to its easy to grow (invasive) abilities! Making this recipe a fresh and simple one to recreate this summer.
     ÂMoringa Leaf powder has a bitter earthy taste. Pairing this with the natural sweetness of the Bananas hides any bitterness and pairs beautifully! To add a further rich Green colour to the Nice cream and boost the nutritional value EVEN MORE, I have added a small amount of Spirulina Powder into the mix.
     ÂTraditionally Mint Ice Cream is paired with Chocolate! For a healthier vegan alternative I have used both Cacao Nibs for topping and some Vegan Choc Chips for added decadence! If you would prefer a stronger mint flavour then feel free to add a dash of Organic Peppermint Extract.
     ÂThis is truly such a joy to make and such a treat to enjoy on a hot Summers Day! Gone are the days of Unhealthy Ice Cream...say hello to a new age of Healthy Alternatives that are even more yummy!!
