30 Healthy Ice Cream Recipes

Beat the summer heat with this roundup of 30 Healthy Ice Cream Recipes!

Healthy Ice Cream Recipes

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Not that we all need an excuse to enjoy ice cream, but July is National Ice Cream Month and I have a roundup of 30 Healthy Ice Cream Recipes for you courtesy of my fellow registered dietitians and healthy food bloggers. While the word “healthy” can have many different meanings, in this instance I take it to mean homemade with wholesome ingredients. There’s something for everyone here; ice cream, sorbet, popsicles and some more indulgent frozen desserts. While I’m usually focused on keeping calories low, let’s face it, desserts are meant to be enjoyed and I’d rather you have a little of the real thing than a lot of a fake, lower calorie thing. I’ve marked those recipes that are gluten free or vegan, as well as a few that are a bit more indulgent than I would normally post yet they sound fantastic! Let’s remember, just because it’s made with good-for-you ingredients, doesn’t mean portions are unlimited. Some of these contain more calories than regular ice cream but with more nourishing ingredients. Enjoy summer and choose wisely. I’d love to know which recipe screams out at you!
