    Blueberry Ice Cream

    Healthy blueberry ice cream made with avocados, and blueberries. An incredibly creamy dairy-free homemade blueberry ice cream! High in antioxidants, vegan and the recipe has options to make it keto.
    Blueberry Citrus Ice Cream (4-ingredient, Vegan)!

    Blueberry Ice Cream

    This homemade blueberry ice cream is full of citrus and is an incredibly nutrition dessert made of both blueberries and avocado. See that? I didn't even make you wait.

    Blueberries Make A Healthy Homemade Ice Cream

    That's because blueberries are full of fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and phytonutrients that support the heart. And the antioxidant levels are through the roof!

    Antioxidants are scavengers that scoop up damaging free radicals that cause disease and other issues.

    Other Ingredients in This Homemade Blueberry Ice Cream

    Avocados. Avocados are a fruit! But I'm going to call it a hidden veggie anyway. And they provide a substantial amount of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids.

    They also serve up 20 vitamins and minerals. So you can probably see how blending all these ingredients together creates an amazing meal.

    I also added a bit of yogurt to increase the creamy texture. But notice this recipe is not like other healthier ice cream recipes. You do NOT need bananas, or coconut cream. And certainly no heavy cream and sugar as you would find in a traditional dairy ice cream.

    See how easy this recipe is?

    How Does This Homemade Ice Cream Taste?

    It tastes like a cross between a creamy ice cream and a sherbert - a touch of icyness in the texture. But it scoops wonderfully, and if you do have an ice cream maker, it would probably be creamier.

    How to Make this Healthy Blueberry Ice Cream?

    How to make this an amazing dessert? Well, you only need four ingredients. And no worries, you won't taste the avocado.

    And it is a no churn ice cream recipe. That means it can all be done in a blender and loaf pan. No ice cream maker required. Although, if you have one, use it, and make this recipe extra creamy!

    The cones? I dipped them in frosting and vegan sprinkles.

    I don't know about you, but I don't know how much more fun I can take.

    How to Make this Recipe Keto?

    Swap out the maple syrup for monk fruit syrup, the extract of the monk fruit which is a healthy sugar substitute with no calories and no carbs, perfect for keto and diabetics who must avoid sugar. Oh, and obviously forgo the sugar sprinkles and cone if you are avoiding sugar.

    What Goes Well With Blueberry Ice Cream?

    We serve ours in cones but it is also delicious on a slice of pound cake because it is not overly sweet.

      Hi, I haven't made this recipe yet, but have a question? Could you use almond or coconut milk for a dairy free option?

        Hi Teresa, this recipe is already dairy-free. I recommend using a plant yogurt like coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt. Almond or cashew milk would be too thin and result in an icy texture. Hope that helps!

        K, the avocado is there to make it creamy - you could try banana or coconut cream. Good luck!

        Nisha, you are always so kind. Yes, I was perfectly thrilled with the way this tasted. I am not that tolerant of tasting avocado in desserts, so I am always on the look out to avoid that..and this one worked! Thanks again, Dee xx
