I’m just a girl standing in front of an ice cream asking it to be healthy…
…well my prayers have been answered by a heavenly angel, the lovely Corina Blum from Searching For Spice. For her Chocolate Banana Nice Cream Recipe magically landed in my inbox this week – yaaasss!
So miracles really do happen and I was able to satisfy my ice-cream craving with a vegan, dairy-free ice cream that is made with just three ingredients and no added sugar – see there is a god! It is quick to make, tastes delicious and is guilt-free, making it the ideal non-cheat treat.
But when the weekend comes and I’m devouring enough calories to launch the next SpaceX rocket into orbit – hey Elon, you should give me a call – nice cream doesn’t really sit right does it? I mean it’s a little hypocritical to spend half the day in my local Red Robin, tucking into their juicy burgers, deep-fried pickles and bottomless fries like there’s no tomorrow and then elegantly nibbling on a bowl of healthy nice cream.
I’m an all or nothing kinda girl. Either I’m so angelically healthy it hurts – like, it really hurts – or there are no holds barred and you can find me under a mountainous pile of empty candy wrappers and fast food cartons.
So for those naughty, indulgent days I offer you the ultimate sin, my No-Churn Peanut Butter Explosion Ice Cream Recipe – it has peanut butter cups, peanut butter, creamy ice cream AND it tastes totally explosive – oh, you’re in for a treat!
So are you feeling naughty or nice? The choice is yours!
…and don’t forget that you can repent for your sins, or celebrate your saintliness at the Arugula & Rocket Store’s January Sale!
