If you know me, you know I am a big fan of ice cream! Cold Stone, Talenti, Frozen Yogurt…any type of creamy frozen dessert that resembles ice cream… I’m in! This “nice cream” is a trend relatively new to me but certainly not new to the vegan world. The base of nice cream is frozen bananas, and then you can mix in anything to create the flavor profile you want. For this nice cream, I opted for POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice because first and foremost it is powered by antioxidants. Plus, I know a lot of people are fighting a cold/flu (including myself!) this time of year so the boost of antioxidants is necessary. Fun fact: Did you know the pomegranate is whole-pressed?! Meaning a unique blend of polyphenol antioxidants from 2 whole pomegranates – including its fruit, pith and rind – is found in each 8oz. bottle!! This dessert is also rich in potassium. Many of you know bananas are a great source of potassium, containing about ~400mg per medium sized banana. Pomegranate Juice is also a wonderful source of potassium – each 8oz. bottle contains just as much as that medium banana! Looking for other vegan dessert ideas? How about my Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies? Or maybe my No-Bake Brownies? Or if you’re feeling fancy, check out my Vegan Chocolate Mousse!
