You know what makes me happy? Fun, colorful, healthy foods! There are many reasons why I named this blog with the word “sunshine”, but one of those reasons is for all the happy color-inducing thoughts it brings. Maybe it is just a subconscious goal of mine to get as many colors into my diet each and every day. I’m pretty sure I knock them all out of the park without any struggle, especially GREEN!

I like to tell people I may just be the first to overdose on greens (but that’s okay!). I proudly do crave veggies (I also crave nut butter and sweet cereal, but you know how it is!) But hold up now! Don’t think the only way you can add green to you diet is from veggies! You may want to delve into some Matcha (green tea powder)  and Spirulina (blue-green algae)! Two fantastic “superfoods” that load in the antioxidants just like veggies and fruit! However, this little powers are much better when we add them to something like…ICE CREAM!

Are you shocked even more? Yes, I said ICE CREAM! My first ice cream recipe to boot! To make it even more special and “super” I made this ice cream not with plain old coconut milk, but Silk® Nutchello™ Toasted Coconut and Cashew Beverage (2 of my favorite foods)! It’s cocoNUTTY, creamy, deliciousness! I always say cashews are like candy to me, with their natural sweetness. Add coconut as well and you have one decadent dairy-free milk for the ultimate ice cream creation! It gets better! The other base is bananas so you don’t need an ice cream maker nor any freezer time. You can dive right into this dairy-free vegan decadence!

Since I know not everyone has my taste preferences, I am hoping that this green goodness will make everyone happy. How could anyone pass up this sweet, healthy, summer-ready treat? You could eat this for breakfast, dessert, even perhaps a midday boost? Can we get a “heck yea!” for the coconut and cashew too? Those are also some of my happiest foods. They’re not all that colorful on their own , but that doesn’t stop us from giving them extra side kicks to boost the color-power!

Are you ready for a bowl? I have a feeling you are. I can see it in your face (yes, I can see!) That green nutty-coconutty matcha and spirulina is calling you! It was calling me, so good thing I had this entire batch to myself 😉

    I’m not going to lie as I’m readying this recipe I am eating Moose Tracks chocolate ice cream so I’m feeling a little guilty. However, I think this recipe sounds amazing and want to try it. I have heard a lot about Matcha lately wasn’t brave enough to try it. Thanks for sharing!

    I’ve seen so many good things about macha, I need to try it. And hiding it in this ice cream seems a great way for me to introduce it to my family. Nutchello is also new to me. I will be looking for this! I would be great in a whole lot of foods, especially this ice cream and in a trifle! So excited!

    I just so happened to have bought this silk milk!! I have never delved into spirulina, but I have matcha. Love making ice cream and love this healthier recipe!

    Ohhh the coconut matcha ice cream looks so good! I love the color!
    Too bad we don’t have silk here, because that nutchello drink looks amazing. Now you’ve got me craving ice cream and it’s only 8 am here 😀

      But this is one of those “ice creams” that all those HCV people eat for breakfast anyway! So get at it 😉

    For your first ever ice cream recipe you nailed it!! Admittedly I ate half a tub last weekend. It was definitely a craving that I caved and went overboard. I need to make a healthy version like this so I don’t feel so bad!!

    I would love to try this!

    When Lynne and I did our Vegan January, we could only get Vegan vanilla ice cream from the shops. I never thought of making a vegan ice cream. But then again this recipe wasn’t available then. 😉

    Oh, the flavor combinations going on here sound incredible!!!! And that color is perfect! Toasted coconut + cashew milk sounds heavenly – I LOVE toasted coconut or really anything coconut-y! I’ve only tried matcha a couple of times and loved it, but don’t have any on hand at the moment…looks like I need to grab some so I can make this! xo

      That’s what I do with bananas 😉 I had to buy them specifically for this, to cut up and freeze!

    OKAY BYE THIS SOUNDS SO INCREDIBLY AMAZING. And as someone who needs a map to navigate around the kitchen, I think I might be able to do this. Like what?! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome recipe!

      Hahahaha! You sure can make this! As long as you can press the button on a blender, you’re good!

      We should just spend the day eating ice cream and smoothies….basically the same thing when veganized 😉

    I’m not a big fan of the taste of match (can’t stand matcha lattes) but I love adding it to desserts and smoothies where I can mask the taste with other flavours because matcha just has so many health benefits! I bet this ice cream tastes amazing with the banana, coconut and cashew flavours 😀

    • Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

      Right? I’ve never had a matcha latte 😛 Hahaha!
      But this just jas that light green tea taste, but is really super banana and coconutty sweetness!
