Skinny Ice Cream Review

Yesterday I posted about a healthier ice cream that I wanted to give a shot.

As a disclaimer I love this site and can't wait to try more things, but this recipe just isn't for me.

If you love Almond Milk you will probably like this ice cream, it's a very practical alternative to regular ice cream and it's VEGAN!  So for those of you that are so already awesome you should try this recipe for yourself.

Now, for those of you who don't like almond milk, are used to full fat ice cream etc... I'm not saying don't try it, but i'm saying dont' expect miracles here it does NOT taste like rich fatty ice cream.

This is the link to the original posters site... LOVE THIS SITE!! Seriously this is no reflection of her and totally a reflection of my picky palette.

Now I did change up her recipe a little. She had posted that coconut milk would make it creamier so I did light coconut milk in hopes that it would mimic real ice cream more.

• 1/2 cup unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
• 1/2 cup Light Coconut milk
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• very scant 1/16 tsp salt (don’t omit)
• 3/4 T Agava

• 
  
• Mix the ingredients together in 1 or 2 shallow plastic containers. Freeze. (You could also use an ice cube tray.) Once frozen, pop the blocks out of the container (I thaw for 30 seconds in the microwave first) and blend in your Vita-Mix. (If you don’t have a vita-mix, you’ll probably have to thaw longer, but you can still get a yummy ice milk.)

I can say that my dislike was purely taste, texture was not an issue so I think this has potential but just wasn't for us.  I also tried this on my kids who were SUPER excited to be my guinea pigs.  The only one that said they liked it was our 3 year old, but then he didn't eat it all.  

Here are their reviews:

P- "Umm Chocolate can't even make this taste good."

M- "That is Disgusting"

B- "I don't like this do I have to eat it?"

K- "It's ok."

So there you have it ... I give this recipe an F for our family.  Sorry I didn't have a super awesome review to share but this is what you get sometimes.
