My friend gave me an idea the other day and then I saw a recipe that was similar to what she was saying and I wanted to share the result with you. Now, this is not 100% Hallelujah, however, it is still very healthy and I am not expecting my followers to do this program 100% anyways.
I know a lot of people have a weakness for ice cream and I found a way to make it healthy! You will need the following:
1 frozen banana (peel, slice, then freeze)
1 cup of frozen strawberries, raspberries, peaches, or any fruit you like
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup almond milk
In a food processor, pulse fruit until coarsely chopped (you will have an easier time accomplishing this if the fruit is chopped prior to being frozen). Add vanilla extract through top of food processor. Then, add the almond milk a little at a time until you get a creamy puree.
Serve, and enjoy!
This was so simple and your kids will love it! One way to make it easier to live a normal life while getting healthy at the same time! I hope you try this and love it as much as I did!
Good news Jill - that Ice Cream recipe is 100% Hallelujah Acres' approved! We are really big fruit ice cream fans here! ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery cool!!! So is almond milk not a dairy product? I think it's soy right?
ReplyDeleteI am totally making this and sharing with Madi. I am hoping to slowly convert her and I to a healthy diet. I think a slow transition would be good for us.
Laura, that is awesome to know! I am new at this and I was thinking that if you are being really strict and going all raw then the frozen stuff wouldn't be 100%. It is so good to know you can still enjoy the stuff you love and make it completely nutritious!
ReplyDeleteAlmond milk is actually not a dairy product. From what I could find it is just water and almonds and sometimes sweeteners are added to it.
That is awesome that you are going to start helping her to learn about nutrition and make wise choices Carissa. A slow transition is probably the best w/ a teenager. I firmly believe that if you can just start working in some of the good stuff and make it enjoyable then the health benefits will be so worth it in the long run. Plus, there are so many creative people out there and with the internet at our fingertips there are a ton of recipes online. It's just a matter of finding the ones that you like. Most of the recipes I have found are just people playing around in the kitchens and randomly coming up with stuff!
