It’s going to be 95 today on the east coast! Here’s an easy raw recipe for “ice cream” without all the preservatives and extras our body doesn’t really need.
You will need:
1-2 frozen bananas sliced up.
1/2-1cup Cacoa Nibs
A food processor or high speed blender.
Place frozen bananas & Caco Nibs in food processor and blend until soft serve consistency.
Scoop into 1-2 small bowls or glasses.
You can make this into a sundae by adding cashew cream and goji berries or raisins.
Enjoy!

**This also makes a great parfait, cut pineapple smaller and alternate between the pineapple and yogurt. Use wine glasses to make it fancier.
