What is nice-cream?
Nice-cream is a vegan-friendly fruit-based creamy dessert – made with bananas and healthier than ice-cream. Unlike ice-cream, which is made with an ice-cream maker, nice-cream is created using a blender to mash the bananas. No need for churning!
Why use bananas?
Bananas are the perfect fruit to add any nice-cream recipe as they create an indulgent and creamy texture in minutes. Furthermore, bananas are highly nutritious as they are rich in vitamin C, potassium and magnesium.1,2 Not to mention, bananas are a healthy source of fibre, minimising the risk of discomfort from constipation.1,3
