Do you need another delicious and nutrient-packed snack for yourself or your little ones? Look no further! This Foraged Ice Cream nutrient dense recipe is a long-time favourite in our household, and it's a perfect way to keep the little ones happy while filling them up with wholesome goodness.
To make this ice cream as nourishing as possible, pair it with a little fat, such as coconut yogurt, and a little protein, such as collagen. And if you or your little one needs extra fat in their diet (you’ll know this if they are constantly hungry, have skin or immune issues), add a tablespoon of melted coconut oil, butter, or ghee.
But that's not all the goodness this ice cream has in store! We've topped this ice cream with toasted Brazil nuts, which are a rich source of selenium, a nutrient that is often forgotten about in most diets. Selenium is essential for optimal thyroid function, which plays a vital role in energy, hormonal health, mood support, and healthy hair and skin. So, don't forget to add Brazil nuts to your diet, whenever you can.
