Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hi Everyone! I just wanted to give a shout-out from Okinawa, Japan! I'm a vegan, formerly from Santa Cruz, CA and now working/living in Asia. I'm headed to the Wigmore Institute in Puerto Rico this July and I've d to help prepare myself for the transition to raw. I must admit, one of the things I think will help me to transition easier will be the raw " ice cream " made with frozen bananas and the Champion. I've tried it before and it's sooo yummy. As a raw foodie, is this only a treat you guys enjoy sporadically, or is this something you can incorporate into your diet regularly?

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Andrea You might want to get a few tools for your kitchen before going to the institute. This will help you transition when you come home. You might like to transition your kitchen and set it up before you go, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Andrea, That probably depends on the individual. Banana " ice cream " is a very simple food (though not in it's natural state) and can help people in their transition to a more natural diet. It is also an occasional treat far more healthy than the dairy ice cream many of us grew up on. I'm sure the frequency of consuming the frozen banana treat also depends on how much prep time and work people are willing to put into it. For people craving a more gourmet raw vegan " ice cream " , with richness and textures more like Ben & Jerry's or Hagen Daas, try my recipe book which includes over 30 raw recipes: http://www.vicecream.com. Like many raw gourmet foods it is not as ideal as eating a mono diet, but is certainly satisfying when a craving hits and allows us to continue a raw diet. It is also a wonderful occasional treat. The banana " ice cream " is a simpler treat and closer to the ideal. If any of these treats work to help you in your transition or help you to stay raw, go for it. I suggest you don't worry too much what other's eat. We all transition in our own ways and at our own spead. I eat a lot less nuts and seeds than I use to, as well as less salt. I eat more and more mono, yet on occasion do go back to more complicated foods.

This is one of my favorites. Other nut milks may also be substituted. Depending on individual tastes & beliefs, etc., either " truly raw " cashews or store-bought " raw " cashews may be used. For the ideal texture, an ice cream maker is best. Without one, try chilling the blended mix, blend some more, return to the freezer, blend some more, etc. When it's too thick, transfer it to a sealable quart (or 2 pints) container and freeze. Another option is to freeze it in ice cube trays or popsicle trays and run them through a champion like frozen bananas (freeze the blade assembly first.) Freezing the mix directly from mixing it may cause a crystal-like texture, so the ice cream maker is best. The texture is best fresh out of the ice cream maker. Enjoy! Jeff http://www.vicecream.com Raw Carob 2 1/2 cups coconut water 1 cup raw organic cashews or cashew pieces 3/4 cup packed organic pitted honey dates 1/2 cup raw carob powder Combine the coconut water and cashews in a blender. Blend on high until silky smooth, for at least 1 minute. Add the dates and continue blending until smooth. With the motor running, add the carob powder and blend until evenly distributed. Place the blender in the freezer for 40 minutes to 1 hour or in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight, until well chilled. Pour the mix into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately or transfer to airtight containers and store it in the freezer until ready to serve.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Hi Jeff, Thanks for sharing. Also, is there any particular kind of ice-ream machine that you recommend. I googled an ice cream maker and the first one I came across was $199. Is that pretty normal? If possible I would like to find one wayyy cheaper! My kids will love the novelty of making ice cream through these hot summers we have. thanks Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
