Recipe for Strawberries-n-Cream "Nice - Cream" with Raw Brownie Topping
(serves 2)
Strawberries-n-Cream "Nice-Cream"
Ingredients
- 5 or 6 reaaaaallly ripe frozen bananas *TIP be sure to peel your nanas before you freeze them!
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
Method
- Blend all the bananas in a high speed blender such as a Vitamix, using tamper.
- Scrape 3/4 of the mixture out of blender and set aside.
- Add strawberries to remaining vanilla mixture to create a beautiful light-pink hue.
- Layer into serving bowls/glasses in 3 layers, starting with a bit of vanilla "Nice-Cream" then the strawberry "Nice-Cream", ending with the rest of the vanilla "Nice-Cream" on top.
*This simplified recipe is absolutely fabulous as is. However, if you so desire, feel free to add some vanilla powder to the vanilla-cream base, & even some fresh, peeled lemon - yes, that's right, lemon! I love adding the lemon for a delish freshness you can't quite detect + more vitamin C power & it keeps the ice-cream from oxidizing too!

How is your Summer going?
Have you tried anything new (holistic health/food/art related or not) this Summer? I'm still learning about wild edibles, adding all the various types we've planted to our daily green drinks & salads. delish. and unbelievably energizing. And, at this point I can say I have become 100% Raw Vegan without even aiming for it. No more detoxing is occurring for me now- and that's a statement I once wondered if I'd ever be able to make! Here's to becoming a clean, mean detoxified machine :)
Another thing new I'm into is no more air conditioning! There's nothing like falling asleep to the soft, cool night breeze on my face, the sounds of owls, rustling leaves or a patter of rain in the night... awakening to the beautiful chorus of birds each morning. Bringing the outside in brings us in touch with the rhythms of the Earth, the Universe. That unity. experiencing the ebb and flow of temperatures throughout the day. no resistance. the night cools, the morning warmth. and the heat of the afternoon...
Are you reading anything you're loving? I'm loving The Essential Rumi. wow. on par with Shakespeare.
All Love,
Juliane
