High Raw Icecream

How does a body stay cool when it's triple digits on the thermometer?! Not easily. Tonight it's still in the high 90's and the kids are having a bowl of icecream. I want something creamy and cold too, but I'm eating 75% raw and want to do this right. So...
I came up with this:

Creamy Dreamy "Icecream"
In the food processeor I used the S blade and put in:
  • about a cup of cold raw got milk (use any raw nut milk, coconut milk, or even water if you had too.)
  • 2 to 3 frozen bananas
  • I added 1 large frozen strawberry for kicks (frozen cherries would be fantastic!)
  • blend until smooth
  • add 1/4 cacao nibs
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans (totally raw folks add raw nuts of any kind)
  • *splash of vanilla

  • pulse this until well blended

  • Put this in a container and stick it in the freezer for an hour or two if you can hold out that long. If not, eat it like soft-serve.

Happiness in a bowl, and full of living foods, enzymes, vitamins,and other goodies. Guilt free pleasure!
