First, let’s talk about nice cream. What is it, exactly? Nice cream is a plant-based, vegan, dairy-free alternative to ice cream -- typically free of artificial flavors, colors and preservatives. It looks and scoops like ice cream, is delicious just like ice cream, but is better for the environment and your body! You really can’t go wrong with a delicious homemade creation like this Açaí Banana Nice Cream Recipe by Carly of Fit Living Eats.

A classic, popular ingredient for nice cream is banana. Bananas are creamy in texture and have a naturally light and sweet flavor, making them the perfect base for nice cream. But, we’re spicing up our nice cream game a bit...with some Açaí, of course! Açaí is antioxidant rich, packed with healthy omegas 3, 6 and 9 and absolutely delicious! It’s the perfect pop of flavor in this Açaí Banana Nice Cream Recipe and it’s so easy to add by using our Sambazon Açaí Pure Unsweetened Superfruit Packs. Now all you need is some full-fat coconut milk, vanilla extract, and cashews to complete your list of nice cream ingredients. Full recipe and instructions below!
