Everyone loves ice cream right? Well I made you some healthy cookie dough ice cream! The best part? This healthy ice cream needs no ice cream maker.

This healthy banana ice cream recipe is very easy to make. All you need is a blender or a food processor. It tastes so rich and decadent, but it’s dairy free and healthy!

You guys! I don’t get this excited over cookies that often, but I am so excited about this recipe for 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies! Seriously. Best. Cookies. Ever. These 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies taste just like the classic peanut butter cookies, but without the flour or refined sugar! Super easy too.

You probably already have the ingredients to make them! If you like recipes with small ingredient lists, you may also like my post about 20 Healthy Desserts with 5 Ingredients or Less. You have got to get in your kitchen and make these healthy peanut butter cookies ASAP!

These healthy cookies are so good and very easy. From start to finish it’s less than 20 minutes. No mixer needed! I think the sweet and salty combo is what make these out of this world delicious.

These peanut butter cookies are vegan, gluten free and grain free. If you wanted a paleo version, you can use almond butter. If you needed a nut free version, try using sunflower butter. I think either will work out.

You have got to try these Flourless Chocolate Brownie Bites! These are so tasty! You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make them.

These flourless chocolate brownie bites are very decadent in taste and texture. Don’t let the avocado in the ingredient list scare you.

You can’t taste them at all. Just like with my avocado chocolate chip cookies or my fudgy flourless brownies. I was licking the batter off the spoon!

These are the perfect bite for when you need a little something sweet. If you like these, you may also like my flourless chocolate muffins.

These healthier brownie bites are vegan, gluten free and even paleo approved. I added a little coffee extract to mine, but that ingredient is totally optional. Although I highly recommend using it. 🙂

If you make anything this weekend, you must make these Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies. If you have been following my blog for awhile, you know I love adding almond extract to anything I can.

I didn’t actually click on the pin, but I did make a mental note to create a recipe for Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies. They came out delicious! If you like all things almond flavored, you make also like my flourless almond joy blondies or my almond joy protein bars.

I made my own cashew butter to use in this recipe. It’s super easy. Just throw cashews in a food processor and blend.
