Bare Life Whole Food Ice Cream
I Scream, You Scream!
Oh My Garsh. If you have tried my Chocolate Whole Food Ice Cream from Confections of a Chocoholic, you know that ice cream made from whole food is amazing! So as part of the Bare Life recipe challenge, I thought: “Why not try the whole food ice cream using my favorite hot cocoa mix?” So after adjusting the recipe to what I thought would be the right ratios, I gathered the ingredients and my favorite little taste testers and have this flavor to share with you along with some ideas for flavor and texture variation.
I can’t wait to hear what you think of this delicious and nutritionally dense treat. Remember to use discount code MENA when buying your Bare Life mix.
