Ice cream, anyone?

Ice cream is totally possible for people eating the NSNGHealthy way!

Here are some options.

Simple basic recipe for ice cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 tablespoon sweetener (Xylitol, Erythritol, stevia, Monkfruit sweetener) or to taste Whip (in a blender) then freeze before you enjoy! Customise the recipe with some of your favourite flavours: vanilla extract, your favourite frozen fruit blend (but watch the carbs) or fresh fruit and/or cocoa nibs garnish.

A new recipe for instant "ice cream"

3/4 cup cold whole milk* or heavy cream or half and half or whole milk yogurt 2 scoops collagen peptides 1/2 cup coconut oil 1.5 cup frozen berries 1-2 teaspoons turmeric powder 1-2 teaspoons powdered cinnamon 1-2 tablespoons beetroot powder
1 ripe banana (optional) 2 teaspoons sweetener (as above, optional)

(*If you are counting carbs, go with heavy cream or half and half instead of whole milk.) Directions: Add ingredients to a blender and pulse then blend continuously til it forms a thick scoopable creamy texture - be careful not to over-mix. Add extra cream if needed to manage the consistency. Scoop into a bowl, sprinkle with chocolate chips or chopped nuts (if desired) and enjoy.

It's also possible to use heavy cream powder in place of heavy cream, though I have not yet done a test of this.

GrainFree Crepes

 A simple but oh so delicious breakfast or snack or dessert option: crepes!

Ingredients: 2 oz cream cheese 2 eggs 1 tsp cinnamon/other flavouring

Mix crepe ingredients thoroughly (an electric mixer is recommended: try this mixer or a more traditional mixer). Apply a generous amount of coconut oil to a warm cast iron skillet. Put 1/4 - 1/2 cup of batter in the warm skillet to cook. Flip after a minute or two and cook some more. Add some fruits and compote (nsng), or uncured meat or your favourite cheese. Slather in butter. Roll and enjoy! Makes 3-4 servings.
