Good gut bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, or so-called probiotics are healthy bacteria responsible for nutrient absorption and supporting the immune system, and yes, they can be used in cooking. Here we share three recipes for vegan-friendly ice creams.
You can find ice pop molds here.
Strawberry Smile for Kids
This makes about 4 ice creams, the number depends on the ice pop molds you use.
5 dl fresh strawberries
Juice from 1 lime
1.2 dl coconut water
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp probiotics for kids
How to make it?
- Blend all ingredients, including the probiotic powder, then pour the liquid into about four ice pop molds.
- Save a few fruit slices and place them in the mold before pouring in the liquid to create beautiful patterns.
- Put in the freezer. Let the ice pop sticks stay in the freezer for at least three hours before serving.
Coconut Crazy for Adults
This makes about 4 ice creams, the number depends on the ice pop molds you use.
1 can coconut milk (not light)
1 dl finely chopped unsweetened dried coconut
1 ½ tbsp honey
Kiwi, strawberries, and whole blueberries
2 probiotic capsules, e.g. Lactovitalis Pro
How to make it?
- Blend all ingredients (open the probiotic capsules and pour out the contents).
- Then pour the liquid into about four ice pop molds.
- Save a few whole fruit slices and/or berries and place them in the mold before pouring in the liquid to create beautiful patterns. You can press a fruit slice against the edge of the mold or place it at the bottom if you use horizontal ice pop molds.
- Put in the freezer. Let the ice pop sticks stay in the freezer for at least three hours before serving.
Cashew Yogurt
You can also use yogurt as a base for ice cream. This wonderfully tasty yogurt is made from cashew nuts and is very easy to make. It can be used for many things like ice cream, morning yogurt, cooking, and more. Your stomach will thank you!
3 dl cashew nuts (organic and natural)
3 dl lukewarm water about 42 degrees Celsius, mix boiled water with cold water until you reach the right temperature.
2 probiotic capsules – e.g. Lactovitalis Pro.
How to make it?
- Blend the nuts in a good blender with water until it has a smooth and suitably thick consistency – it should resemble yogurt.
- Open the probiotic capsules and pour out the contents. Blend again.
- Pour into a glass jar, cover, and let stand at room temperature for 10 hours, preferably overnight.
- Now you have a super tasty, slightly tangy yogurt for breakfast. Store in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator.
