AMAZING Strawberry & Oreo Ice Cream Bowl



Turns out that strawberry and oreo pairs really well!

WHO can say no to breakfast when you can eat a biiiiiggggg bowl of pretty pink strawberry ice cream topped with oreo chunks and drizzles of chocolate sauce??? Definitely not me! :p

I've always loved oreos since I was a kid! Especially the white filling part haha! I've never been a savoury-snack person, I'm all about the sweet stuff! How about you?

*Yep, oreos are vegan. I already checked the ingredient list!

Try this combo out! SO GOOD~

Matcha Chia Pudding & Strawberry Ice Cream PARFAIT



YAAASSS!!!

Finally made a parfait again!
What I love the most about them is that you can get all the different textures by layering all the different components in one jar!

My favourite way to layer goes like this: pudding -> ice cream/smoothie -> granola/some kind of crunch! Sometimes I also add some chopped fruits and sauce! *whenimnotlazyHA*

The pudding is made the night before so all you need to do in the morning is blend up some ice cream and layer it on top plus put some crunch on there yas! ;)

Vegan Chocolate Orange Banana Ice Cream



Doesn't this look amazingly delicious? Well, it really is!! I don't know why I haven't made this flavour combination before (ugh), but I'm so glad I did now.

Chocolate and orange is just a classic combination that will never go wrong! Make it into an ice cream form and you're in for a real treat!! Not just any ice cream, this is Vegan & good for you (high-carb low fat as well yay!), perfect for breakfast (especially if you're into Rawtill4 / Raw).




And yeah, it's not Healthiecook style if it's not topped with gazillions (is that even a word? :p ) of toppings! I highly recommend you to do so too! Because it's incredibly delicious and colourful ;)

Mango Berry Banana Ice Cream



A not-so-common combination but definitely a really good one! In fact, I think this is one of the tastiest banana ice cream flavours that I have ever made!

Creamy, sweet, delicious strawberry banana ice cream base, topped with mango cubes and coconut sugar. Oh yeah, I give you the permission to eat dessert for breakfast! Tastes super-yummy but healthy enough to eat for breakfast! Plus it's fully raw as well!




Remember to use a fully-ripe mango ok! You know it's ripe if it's nice & soft when you squeeze it lightly. You really don't want to eat an unripe mango ever because it tastes bitter and horrible for your digestion as well!

Raw Vegan Tropical Ice Cream Sundae



I can't even tell you how amazingly delicious this is.

Banana ice cream is just the best breakfast ever. It's just so magical you know, how simply some frozen bananas can transform into a delicious, smooth, and creamy soft-sevre ice cream! If you haven't tried it before than you simply have to. Like, seriously.




This time I made something a bit more tropical, it's actually inspired by a dessert in Indonesia (where I live) which consists of shaved ice with syrup or ice cream, tropical fruits, and topped with something similar (forgot the name of that seed) to these soaked chia seeds I put on top.

Raw Vegan Spirulina Banana Ice Cream


Look at THAT colour!

Nope, I did not use any food colouring at all. Sometimes I wonder why people use artificial *chemical* colourings on food when they can get such pretty colours from natural, nutritious, whole foods (example, red: beets, yellow: turmeric, etc).

For this I used spirulina powder, which gives it that vivid blue-green colour and of course, TONS of nutrients. Spirulina is actually a blue green algae and it has all the essential amino acids! (aka complete protein).


Okay, so now to the ice cream. If you look at the picture, you might be wondering, "How can this girl eat ice cream for breakfast?" The answer is, the ice cream is made from bananas. It's banana ice cream! And it's delicious. 


Recipe

  • around 6-7 frozen bananas
  • a bit of water to help it blend
  • 2 tbsp coconut nectar/maple syrup/brown rice syrup/other sweetener
  • about 1-2 tsp spirulina*
  • 1 - 2 drops peppermint essential oil *optional but yummy
  • toppings of your choice

Method

  1. Process everything in a high speed blender or food processor (do not attempt this using a regular blender), adding a bit of water to help it blend, but don't add too much or it will turn into a smoothie!
  2. Watch your bananas magically transform into a super creamy, soft serve ice cream deliciousness! Scoop into a bowl, top with any toppings that you like, dive in!

*the more you use, the darker the color will be, I recommend you start with smaller quantities to get used to it first! And make sure you use a good quality one because 'cheap' ones taste fishy/gross and the colour is muddy-green! :)
