Healthy Ice Cream Recipes

Homemade Healthy Ice Cream Recipes
Healthy ice cream is suddenly all the rage.
Vegan and sugar free ice cream options are completely taking over the grocery store freezer aisles of Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, and pretty much everywhere else that sells groceries.
Mint Chocolate Chip Nice Cream
Protein Ice Cream
Almond Milk Ice Cream – 5 NEW Flavors
Chocolate Peanut Butter Nice Cream
Vegan Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Banana Ice Cream – 10 NEW recipes
Because it’s my job to stay on top of food trends (and because I’m a self-professed ice cream lover who would never turn down an excuse to eat more ice cream), I’ve tried many of these low calorie ice cream alternatives, including Halo Top, Enlightened, Wink, and Arctic Zero.
Spoiler alert: I hate most of them.
Don’t let my opinion stop you if you enjoy any of the brands mentioned above – I know a lot of people who do.
Just for me, I’d rather eat Ben & Jerry’s, Häagen-Dazs, or my favorite vegan ice cream, Nada Moo.
Dairy Free Coconut Ice Cream
Dole Whip – Just like the famous Disney version
Oat Milk Ice Cream
Vegan Oreo Ice Cream
Vegan Pistachio Ice Cream, from the cookbook
Ice cream is one of my favorite foods, and there are always at least two different flavors in my freezer at any given time.
I also happen to have quite a few homemade ice cream recipes published here on the blog, and in honor of National Ice Cream Day, which is coming up this Sunday on July 21st, here are some of my favorite healthy ice cream recipes!

Vegan Coffee Ice Cream
Healthy Chocolate Fudgsicles

My favorite food! Yet it’s so hard to find a healthier version that doesn’t cost a million dollars. These look like great alternatives, and I don’t have to worry about all the fake sugars!

This is the perfect post, because I just got a Cuisinart ice cream maker! Thanks always, Katie! The only problem: I am so torn between using my ice cream maker or making nice cream. They’re both so GOOD!

I have never used an ice cream maker before. For the recipes posted here would I need to buy rock salt?

We haven’t ever used one that needed it (although maybe there are some brands that do?). This is the machine Katie has, and it does not need any: https://amzn.to/3vwnNu3

This is the best post! Thanks for sharing! My husband doesn’t like usually having ice cream in the freezer because he thinks it’s not good for you and we eat it to fast (it’s good for my soul that’s for sure!). So now having some healthier alternatives is great!

Hi Katie. I didn’t know how to reach you, other than responding to your most recent post. I’ve got a question about the crazy Ranch dressing recipe. I’m allergic to soybean (so tofu), so is there a substitute? I’d really love to make your ranch dressing! Thanks!

Maybe try some kind of yogurt, such as greek yogurt or a vegan greek yogurt? If you experiment, definitely be sure to report back!

The Nutella and Mint Chip are luring me to whip them up in my kitchen! BUT, all of these ice cream recipes look incredible! Great vegan renditions of ice cream!

Hi Team!! I bought the cookbook “Hello Breakfast” ages ago (which is awesome) , however a weird thing I’ve noticed is that I seem to be missing the “Vegan Pistachio Ice cream” recipe. In this post it mentions its in the cookbook. So I am wondering, were their multiple versions of it? Unsure if I am missing any other recipes, I just happen to notice this one so far.
