I love sweets, but I also want to be healthy and want my family to eat healthy too. This can be a challenge when you spend years consuming junk wrapped in colorful packages.

I can't stand the taste of processed, nasty sweets now, but my children...well, we are working on that. Here's my ice cream replacement; it's good for you and tastes fantastic!


Raw Goat Milk Soft Serve
 


Bananas are the base for this. Without them you won't get a whipped, creamy texture. Freeze them after they are good and ripe. I peel dozens at a time and freeze them in freezer bags to have on hand all the time.

In a food processor, place about 3 or 4 of your frozen bananas. Let them sit out for 20 minutes or so to get a little soft so they don't break your blades.

I add 4 or 5 frozen strawberries. (also let sit out for a bit)
You can add any berries or no berries.
I also add walnuts and vanilla extract.
If you are desiring chocolate ice cream, add some  instead of the berries. If making chocolate, use powdered cocoa or carob, or a syrup. I would also then add almond extract for richness.

Add 1 cup raw, strained, chilled goat milk. (you can really use any kind , but if you have goats, why would you?! The goats' milk makes it so rich and creamy) Coconut milk or cream would be mighty tastey too!
Whip it all up in your food processor. Whip it until it's thick, creamy, and  fluffy looking.

I modified this recipe from a raw food cookbook. I think mine's better!
You can top this with real whipped cream , chopped nuts, sprinkled bee pollen, or chocolate syrup.
Don't worry about sweetners, this is very sweet as it is. I don't like to add anything- it's delicious as is!  This is a really nice treat and you can serve this to company if you make it pretty. They will be impressed that something so "healthy" can also taste so good.
I don't like to freeze left overs, because this mixture turns brown when I do. It tastes good still, but looks not too pretty anymore.
