Ingredients:

• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• very scant 1/16 tsp salt (don’t omit)
• sweetener (such as 1 stevia packet or 1T sugar)
• 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened Silk)
• 1-3 T nut butter of choice
• Optional: you can add banana, chocolate chips, etc.

Directions:

1. Mix the ingredients in a plastic container. (Or you can use an ice cube tray.)

2.Freeze. Once frozen, pop the block out of the container (I thaw for 30 seconds in the microwave first) and blend in your Vita-Mix. (If you don’t have a vita-mix, you’ll probably have to thaw longer, but you can still get a yummy ice milk.)

Thanks to the fat in the peanut butter, this ice cream is a bit creamier than the vanilla version. However, if you want it even creamer, try using at least 1/4c canned coconut milk (or maybe even a little creamer?). You can, of course, also sub other non-dairy milks for the almond. But if you do this, play around with the amount of vanilla extract, sweetener, and add-ins. (For example, an already-sweetened milk will probably need less added sweetener.)
