Need an Ice Cream Alternative? Lemon Blueberry Nice Cream Recipe
Here’s a delicious recipe for lemon blueberry nice cream. Another fun alternative is my purple passion smoothie.
When you want a frozen treat or an ice cream, but would rather not have the dairy, nice cream is the perfect alternative.
What is Nice Cream?
Nice cream, is a play-on-words of ice cream, for ice cream alternatives that are dairy-free and healthier than traditional ice cream. Most traditional ice creams are filled with flavorings.
For example, did you know that the green color of pistachio ice cream isn’t from pistachios?! Nope, it’s from coloring. One day, I’ll have to do a pistachio ice cream recipe using spirulina for the green color!
For today though, I’ll be sharing my lemon blueberry alternative to ice cream, which is packed with nutrition and super delicious!
Lemon Blueberry Nice Cream
This recipe uses frozen banana and blueberries – a tad of lemon zest as well as honey. That’s it!
You just blend it together, and voila! You have a healthy, frozen treat.

Another fun alternative for ice cream is banana nice cream. Banana ice cream is frozen bananas blended up into a soft serve! It is delicious! You can make it with your blender or with one of these soft serve makers.
