Here’s a quick and simple recipe for a dairy-free delight that you can sweeten to taste. It’s absolutely fine on its own if you like the tartness of raspberries.
Raspberries, and other dark pink, purple and blue fruits, are bursting with anthocyanins, a wonderfully healing compound, powerful in the fight against estrogenic cancers.
If you choose to add more sweetness, then choose a low GI sweetener.
The coconut milk offers a creaminess and natural sweetness to this decadent treat. It’s a medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) that actually helps you burn fat!
And remember, our brains are 60% fat, so we need to consume good fat to keep our brains working well.
Choose a brand that doesn’t contain stabilizers like guar gum or xanthan gum. These can cause discomfort for those with digestive issues. But when you choose one that is only coconut milk, with zero fillers, this treat is as guilt-free as ice-cream can be!
