Nice & Creamy (OUTSPOKEN_DIVA's Favorite Recipes)

I like finding healthier alternatives to fatty treats like Nice Cream. Nice cream is a frozen dessert without dairy, eggs, or sugar in ice cream. I am a big fan of ice cream, but I am not a fan of bananas and anything that taste like its flavor. Bananas are too sweet for my taste buds. But they are a good cream alternative. There are tons of recipes that use them. Most nice creams aka ice cream alternatives rely on them a lot. I knew that 
  • Mango
  • Papaya
  • Pear
  • Chia Seeds
  • Fresh Dates
  • Nut Butters
  • Unsweetened Applesauce
  • Avocado
were good substitutes for bananas in smoothies but I didn't know if they translated well as nice cream. So, I was so happy to run across this 55 calories, Eating Well recipe on Facebook. It is banana-free & very easy. And of course, I brought my buddies at Diet Solutions (Facebook page is HERE) along for this taste bud ride.

Mango-Pineapple Nice Cream

Ingredients
  • 1 16-ounce package frozen pineapple chunks 
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks or 1 large mango, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
Directions
  1. Process pineapple, mango and lemon (or lime) juice in a food processor until smooth and creamy. (If using frozen mango, you may have to add up to ¼ cup water.) For the best texture, serve immediately.
This nice cream is very good. I thought it was going to be more like a sorbet, but it is a little creamier. It is refreshing & light, also. Now, I want to try peach nice cream. Peach is the only fruit flavor ice cream I like, so that should be interesting to try.
