Beyond the delicious taste – macadamia nuts are also a nutrient-dense powerhouse! Macadamia nuts are rich in healthy fats – in particular, ALA omega 3 fats and oleic acid (omega 9)- supporting your brain and heart.
Strawberries - are a fantastic source of vitamin C – 1 cup provides 149% of your DV of vitamin C! They also contain antioxidants including anthocyanins, tannins, flavanols, catechins, and resveratrol.
Other Nice Cream Flavours

Tips for Success
- For less sweetness, use slightly green (less ripe) bananas. For more sweetness, use spotty, ripe bananas!
- Slice bananas before freezing to make blending easier.
- If your blender is having trouble with the thick texture, allow the banana to thaw for 5 minutes before making the nice cream. Alternatively, you can add a splash (1 tbsp) of plant-based milk
- Freeze leftovers (if you have any - you probably won’t because it’s so delicious!) in a covered silicone mold. When ready to enjoy, you can pop the nice cream out of the mold and blend it again for that delicious soft-serve consistency - or enjoy as is, if you prefer a thicker (more frozen) consistency.
