Peanut Butter Cup Nice Cream (Vegan)

August 19, 2018 Melissa King 5 Comments

Peanut Butter Cup Nice Cream. This ice cream is made healthier, but it’s still also a little indulgent. I used a frozen banana base and added some dark chocolate peanut butter cups to it.

I used Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups which are naturally vegan. While they do contain a bit of sugar, they are far better than a Reese’s cup! Besides, we all need to indulge every once and a while. It’s called balance.

My mouth is watering just thinking about this ice cream! It definitely did not last long in our house. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.

Vegan Nutella Nice Cream. The other day I remade an old recipe for vegan Nutella. I had tons of it left over, so I used it up making this delicious ice cream recipe. No ice cream maker needed!

Another great thing about this ice cream recipe is that you don’t need an ice cream maker to make it! Anyone can make it as long as you have a blender or food processor. Easy peasy.

If you wanted to make this recipe nut free, you can use sunflower butter instead of cashew butter. You may have to add a little milk to get the mixture super creamy.

Pumpkin Chocolate Bars that are vegan, paleo and gluten free. My favorite time of year is here! Do you love fall too? Pumpkin on all the things!

I am starting with these delectable pumpkin bars. These healthy bars were inspired by this amazing recipe on Pinch of Yum.

As soon as I saw her recipe, I thought about making a pumpkin version. It came out great!

Another great thing about these bars is that they contain no re-fined sugars. They also require no cooking at all! Score!

These dessert bars are very rich and you only need a little bit to feel satisfied. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

These Chocolate Chip Quinoa Blondies may be the best dessert I have made in a while. I already have several Quinoa Brownies and also Quinoa Cookies on the blog.

I just never occurred to me to create a quinoa blondie recipe until now. I am so glad I did. This opens the door up to different varieties in the future too!

These healthy blondies are vegan, gluten free and flourless. They also come with a boost of protein. I swear, no one will ever know they were made with quinoa! Just try them and see for yourself. You may not want to share with anyone. 😉

I know it’s kinda early for pumpkin, but to be honest, we eat it all year long. The minute I tried this REBBL Ashwagandha Chai Coconut Milk Elixir, I knew it would be delicious with pumpkin. I was right. The warm spices from the Chai, pair perfectly with the pumpkin!

I had the pleasure of trying all the vegan flavors and they are delicious. Perfect for take on the go, just like you would a coffee drink, but without the caffeine. I really love the Maca Cold-Brew as an alternative to coffee drinks. The maca root gives you sustained, non-jittery energy, and the taste is great too!

REBBL stands for Root, Extracts, Berries, Bark and Leaves. REBBL offers many different coconut milk elixirs: Matcha Latte, Turmeric Golden Milk, Maca Cold Brew, Maca Mocha, Reishi Chocolate and Ashwagandha Chai. They also offer 2 protein drinks: Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Spice.
