It's true- we're giving you a recipe for ice cream that is actually good for you and has pretty awesome health benefits!
We love ice cream just as much as anyone, but the truth is it's loaded with high sugar and fat contents! Most brands even contain an ingredient that can cause potentially fatal gastrointestinal issues! That's why we put together this super yummy nice cream that is just as sweet & delicious as ice cream, but is full of natural ingredients with amazing benefits!
One of the ingredients in this recipe is Teami Matcha - if you aren't already a matcha lover, you might just be one by the end of this blog. It can easily be incorporated into cooking, drinks, and even had in hot water like tea! Not to mention it's an amazing coffee replacement that actually boosts your body! Some of the amazing benefits of matcha include:
- Promotes healthy & glowing skin
- Detoxifies naturally
- Packed with antioxidants
- Aids in weight loss
- Boosts brain function
Basically, there's a benefit for everyone! This is such an important ingredient to add to you daily routine so easily!! Since matcha is so power-packed with ingredients, it's important to buy smart and focus on quality so you can reap all of the benefits!
Here are 4 ways to make sure you get the best Matcha possible:
- Check your label- you want to find a matcha that says "Ceremonial Grade" on the label. It is the highest quality to use!
- Check the location - Look for the location the matcha originates! You want one that is Japanese, it is usually the highest quality. Chinese origin usually is lower quality that will not give you the same amazing benefits.
- Check the color- the greener, the better! You want to look for a vibrant green color. This color comes from the high chlorophyll levels that aid in its detoxifying properties.
- Check the texture - the best quality matcha is made with soft leaves, so you want to look for a smooth and light texture.
By using this list of what to check, you're on your way to the best high quality matcha you can incorporate into your daily ritual. A great option is Teami Matcha! It is a smooth vibrant green ceremonial grade matcha deriving from Japanese origin (Check off all 4!!) .
On top of the amazing matcha benefits, each ingredient also has some special benefits mixed into this yummy nice cream! Honey is natures sugar - so we used this to sweeten this recipe giving it the sweet taste without the harmful sugar. Frozen bananas give it the thick consistency - boosting with vitamins to help digestion and boost mood.
Another special ingredient to highlight is cinnamon! Sure, it's a spice most people have in their kitchen but did you know it was worth more than gold in ancient Egypt? This is because it has powerful medicinal properties!
Now that you know everything that's going into this yummy alternative, lets make it!
Cut your bananas into thick slices and freeze them overnight. After, get all your ingredients together to begin this yummy recipe!
Put all the ingredients into a food processor.
Garnish your ice cream with chopped nuts or coconut flakes!
Take an insta-worthy pic and enjoy!! ;)
