It’s getting warm! Summer is almost here – even where I live!

And that means… it’s time for ice cream! Oh, I have so many ice cream ideas, I’m really glad that we finally have the right temperatures for ice cream and popsicles!
Actually, rhubarb is a spring vegetable. Yeah, that’s right, it’s a vegetable, not a fruit. And a pretty healthy one, too. If this was a health blog, I could tell you a lot about it’s benefits, like the high amounts of dietary fiber, it’s vitamin B, A and K content, antioxidants and calcium. But this is just a playful blog, so you don’t even have to let people know that they are eating a healthy treat…

… cause nobody will notice. They taste that good!

Strawberry Rhubarb Popsicles

  • 2 cups strawberries
  • 1 small stalk rhubarb
  • 3 tbsp almond or coconut milk
  • optional: 1/2 cup xylit (or regular sugar) for the sweet tooth… *

Mix all the ingredients in your blender. Fill in popsicle forms and freeze for about 6h or overnight.
Enjoy!

* NOTE: If you add sugar/xylit or not depends on your own sweet tooth and on the sweetness of your strawberries which varies a lot! When you try the mixture, it should be slightly over sweetened, because the frozen mixture always tastes slightly less sweet.

And you have to hurry up to make this treat – rhubarb season is almost over!!! It usually lasts until the end of june.

Summer in a bowl – Mango Ice Cream (RAW)

The last days of summer – time to enjoy some more ice cream!

Okay, actually… According to my very own definition summer is already over where I live. Oh well. You can still fetch it back to your plate bowl!

 

This is the kind of ice cream we enjoyed most this summer. Maybe I will even love this in winter – we’ll see!
One part I really love about it: You use dried mango instead of fresh! Just stock some dried mango and you’re fine! It’s that easy…

It’s super creamy, raw and does not contain bananas! As I mentioned before – I love bananas, but I don’t want every treat and dessert to have a banana flavor.

Last days of summer Mango Ice Cream 

  • 2 cups (300g)  ice cubes
  • half a carrot (medium sized)
  • 1 nectarine, halved
  • about 10 peaces of dried mango (50g or 1,7 oz)
  • 2 tbsp agave syrup OR 15 drops stevia (or sweetener of choice)

Put everything in your heavy duty blender (I used a vita-mix) in the  order they are listed. Use your tamper and blend until smooth (it will take about 1-2 minutes). Done. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Yes, I sneaked in some carrot – it will yield a beautiful color and I promise – you won’t taste it!

 

As long as there’s hot tea and warm blankets – I bet I’ll still love this when winter is here!
