This is a wonderful, healthy, gluten free and dairy free alternative to commercial ice cream!
What I really love about this recipe is that there are very few ingredients, and they are ALL nutrient dense foods.
You might be wondering about the sugar in this recipe. There is NO added sugar at all. Yes, it is has plenty of natural fructose from the fruit, but it also has ALL the fiber and other nutrients from those fruits, which slow down the digestion of the fructose. There are no additives and nothing has been altered or removed from the fruits. This recipe is a slight variation of the
original by Kate Sherwood, The Healthy Cook
Enjoy!
NOTE: RECOMMENDED SERVING SIZE: 1/3 cup
The amount you consume makes a difference! A moderate sized portion will keep the natural fructose at a healthy level.
