Warm weather and ice cream? A match made in sweet floral spring and summer dreams!
And when thoughts of cones and wafers wriggle to the fore, a happy and healthy alternative begs an audience.
Deceptive in colour, this gracefully light green frozen yogurt suggests mint, though instead a most welcome soothing and softly banana flavour beguiles our taste buds.
Taste, tastes truly terrific when at its centre is nourishment and love.
Spirulina is the Mermaid of oceanic nurturing; her healing properties echo through this cool delight - deepest green, mellowed by beautiful banana - ooh a complimenting combination ensues;-)
This seemingly decadent delight dives you into a cleansing and fruitful experience, with audacious algae in toe, light, though a truly sweet indulgence is yours for the taking.
However you like to eat your ice cream, be it....
· In a cone
· Spooned into a hot chocolate
· Simply on its own
· Or drizzled with a lovely sauce
May this one bring a smile to your face. My son gave this recipe top marks, it’s a winner with children and adults alike and much healthier than anything available in the shops - and you don't need an ice cream machine either!
What time is is it?

* I love this with some gorgeous mint choc sauce on top. Recipe coming soon . . . Watch this space;-)

Thank you everyone! Hope you enjoy it - I'd love to hear more of your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteJayasri, you can get capsules that simply pull apart, in the powdered form, and one capsule is about right for this recipe, roughly 1/2 tsp. Any good chemist or health food shop will sell them. Tablet form isn't ideal to cook with.
I hope you can find some, it's a real gem to cook with and so healthy too;-)
wat a fantastic treat .....loved it..:) ice cream color is fascinating..:P

I love this shade of green too Jay:) Suggests mint, but is indeed banana!
ReplyDeleteI have really bad blood circulation and spirulina is supposed to be really good for it. The powder looks disgusting but if I can have it in ice-cream then I'm all for it! Xx
