Ive been plant based by my primary Dr since February. He diet combined w/ 1hr of ultra workouts achieved morning, ive dropped 70 lbs , gone from a sz 16 to a sz 8. Im currently doing resistance training to build muscle. I had to do this due to vascular issues . I love being plant based , I feel better at 72 than I did at 22.

Can I use regular vanilla instead of alcohol free?

Margaret G.

Renee

Sounds delicious. I can’t wait to try this recipe

Theresa Simanek

I would love to make this recipe but can’t have the seeds. May I make it without them or do I need to substitute something else. No seeds please!

Makes a great Ninja Creamy ice cream if you freeze it. I usually like to pour a little date syrup over it if you don’t mind the added calories. Ron

Fantastic. I ate some it right away and want to eat it every day. I'm very fat-sensitive so I made it a bit lower fat by subbing 1 Tb of cornstarch per Tb of chia seeds (did 1/2 and 1/2 to still enjoy some chia seeds). Didn't have pumpkin spice blend, so did a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.

Mañana mismo la hago, se ve rica, nutritiva y fácil. Gracias.
