3 healthy recipes to satisfy your ice cream craving
Looking for a more nutritious way to enjoy your favorite ice cream? Skip the low-fat, sugar-free options you find in the grocery store and try “n’ice” cream instead.
N’ice cream is frozen fruit that has been pureed into an ice cream. You can enjoy it with add-ins like peanut butter, chocolate, nuts or other fruits. N’ice cream is an easy way to get in fiber and other nutrients compared to regular ice cream. It’s usually lower in saturated fat, calories and added sugar, as well.
Wondering where to start with making n’ice cream at home? Try one of these sweet and creamy recipes.
