Ice Cream for breakfast? Yes, please!
This protein packed coffee nice cream with both skyr and whey will get the day going for a busy mama that likes a healthy-ish treat on special days like Mother’s Day.
This is one of four recipes I developed in partnership with Vitamix for this upcoming Mother’s Day and they sure are celebrating all the special mama’s and offering Fabulous Mother’s Day Deals with up to $100 off all New Machines Plus Free Standard Shipping 4/13 – 5/20 (US only)
The other recipes include a Cocktail Popsicles for happy hour, fresh fish for dinner and gluten and dairy free chocolate cupcakes for dessert – all healthyish recipes and all right in time for spring.
What is nice cream you might be asking, well it is quickly blended frozen fruites and or veggies with minimal liquid so it gets the texture of a soft serve. Absolutely brilliant way to eat something healthy for breakfast, snack or even dinner!
Please note that it takes absolutely no time to make the nice cream but the crumble I recommend making the night before.
Also do not forget to make the ice cubes and place 1/2 ripe banana in the freezer the night before!
