By blending pure, frozen fruit using the PURE Juicer, you can experience the same luscious taste and creamy texture as traditional ice cream, but without any preservatives, dairy or added sugar. Fruits are full of nutrients that our bodies crave and tastebuds love. The rich yellows, purples, and reds all represent unique phytonutrients that also taste remarkable. With the following recipes, you’re just scratching the surface of the endless possibilities that await. Go treat yourself! Simply grab your favorite fruits, freeze them, and blend them into a truly amazing spin on a summertime (anytime) classic. 

Makes 4 servings. The serving size is ½ cup. Run all ingredients through the PURE Juicer grinder using a #2 grid, or blend. (Please note that if you are using a blender, you will need to add milk or water for better blending).

Nice cream for breakfast?  Bet you never had that option as a kid! Use the same technique described above and add your favorite healthy toppings like granola, more fruit, seeds, and nuts. What a satisfying way to start your day!

Health Benefits:

• Nutrient-Rich: Bananas are packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, manganese, dietary fiber, and magnesium, making it the perfect base for this sweet treat. These nutrients support various bodily functions, including the immune system and nerve function. Berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries serve as the perfect add-ins as they are rich in antioxidants. These compounds help protect the body against oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.

• Healthy Heart: Potassium plays a crucial role in maintaining heart health. Adequate potassium intake helps regulate blood pressure levels and may reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease.

• Digestive Health: Fruits such as avocado, mango, bananas, and berries are a great source of dietary fiber which promotes healthy digestion. Fiber supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and prevents constipation. Additionally, bananas contain natural compounds called fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which act as prebiotics, nourishing the gut microbiota.

• ​​Energy Boost: As they are rich in carbohydrates, bananas, apples, and pineapples, provide a quick and natural energy boost. The natural sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, are easily digested and converted into energy, making these fruits a popular choice for those in need of a quick energy pick-me-up.

• Cognitive Function: Research suggests that regular consumption of berries, especially blueberries, may help preserve brain health and enhance cognitive function. The antioxidants and other bioactive compounds in berries have been associated with improved memory and delay in age-related cognitive decline.

• Potential Weight Management: Nice cream is a far healthier, more nutritious alternative to traditional ice cream, which is typically high in added sugars and unhealthy fats. By switching out your regular ice cream for some nice cream, you can enjoy a satisfying treat with potentially fewer calories and a higher nutrient content, supporting weight management goals.
