Matcha nice cream
A tasty swap for ice-cream lovers looking to limit sugar, fat, and calories.
Have you made “nice cream,” or banana soft serve? This is a great swap for ice-cream lovers who want to watch their intake of sugar, fat, and calories. All you need is a frozen, ripe banana and a food processor or blender. You can add in other flavors as desired; I chose matcha, Japanese-style powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. Other mix-in options include 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, cinnamon, or ginger; frozen blueberries; nuts and dark chocolate shavings. While the amount of natural sugar seems high, remember that there are no added sugars in this sweet treat. If you can eat a banana, you can enjoy this frozen treat!
