Superfood
Ice Creams
People have been asking me for the past
year to make an ice cream recipe book,
using superfoods and tonic herbs, with
low glycemic sweeteners and NO dairy. In
my work as a health coach and a raw food
chef, I o!en make recipes like these for
clients and they are always a winner!
These recipes are just a star#ng point for
you to experiment and make your own
favorite combina#ons of flavor. Once
you get the base recipe down, the sky
is the limit as far as what new recipes
you will be able to create from your
imagina#on.
Making dairy-free, sugar-free, creamy,
delicious ice creams in your blender is
easy and fun! What could be beer than
enjoying the delicious sweet and decadent
ice cream, but without any guilt!
NOTE: I made these recipes in a VitaMix
blender. I think it’s important to use
a high-performance blender to get
the creamiest end product. I imagine
if you have a regular blender, if the
motor is strong enough, and if you
start with crushed ice, you will be able
to approximate the same thing, but
please note that I have never tried these
recipes in a regular blender and cannot
vouch for how the final product will turn
out.
These ice cream recipes are made with
superfoods and tonic herbs. They are
low glycemic and super-packed with
nutri#on. They could even be used as meal
replacements!
In making these recipes, I purposely did
not use sugar because so many people are
dealing with blood sugar issues, whether it
comes from dealing with a health challenge
such as candida or diabetes, or even
something more serious. Instead, I used
stevia and xylitol for sweeteners. If you
have a sensi#vity to one or the other of
these ingredients, it’s fine to replace them
with something else, but most people will
be able to enjoy these op#ons and will
benefit from the low glycemic sweetness.

General
Instructions
This base recipe for making ice cream is the star!ng point for any flavor you can
think of. If you start with this recipe, you will create a neutral – slightly toffee flavor
blend which can be adapted according to your taste. I include this recipe so you can
play in the kitchen with adding your own fruits and flavorings and s!ll come out
with a great consistency.
The trick to successful ice creams is to split the ice in half. Put half of the ice in the
boom of the blender, add your flavorings and ingredients next, and sandwich
these in between the second half of the ice.
For these recipes I used 6-7 regular sized ice cubes in each half of the recipe. If you
don’t have a VitaMix blender, I would recommend star!ng with crushed ice to make
it easier to blend.
Even if you have a VitaMix, you will need to use some elbow power and the tamper
to mix everything completely and make a creamy product. If you add any liquid
to this mixture, you may end up with something more like a smoothie than an ice
cream. If this happens, you can always pour the mixture into a container and freeze
it un!l it is solid enough to scoop.
