People On Instagram Are Freezing Smoothies Into Vegan Ice Cream

"Growing up, I loved all kinds of ice cream," Lina Saber — recipe developer and soon-to-be author of Radiant Plant Life — told BuzzFeed. "I was also unconscious about the unhealthy ingredients that were used to make it. I knew there had to be another way to enjoy ice cream daily without all the chemicals."

This one contains frozen bananas, mango, and organic orange oil. For a basic nice cream recipe, go here.

"The base has to always have something creamy, or you'll end up with an icy sorbet rather than a creamy consistency," Saber said. Add other favorite fruits and flavors, blend it together, and freeze it overnight.

"Water makes it too icy after freezing overnight," Saber said. " But guar gum (which comes in powder form) prevents the nice cream from getting an icy texture — making it so much creamier!" You can also use organic canned coconut milk for a similar effect.

"Mint and pistachio was a crazy good one — it had peppermint oil and crushed pistachios and coconut cream," Saber said. "I also love experimenting with superfood powders like pomegranate powder, Maqui powder, mint powder, and goji berry powder."

"It’s a blend of chilled watermelon chunks, frozen bananas, frozen raspberries, a big scoop of pomegranate powder, and thick coconut cream," Saber said.
