Organic Banana Split!

I’m a huge fan of dessert. I almost always have something sweet in the house. My definition of “sweet” has change a lot in the last few months. There is no candy left in our apartment. My sweets are fruits dried, frozen or otherwise and the occasional loaf of freshly baked raisin bread.
Tonight was the first night in a long time that we had a “typical” dessert, a banana split. It was not however as horrible as some treats can be. It was almost completely organic and free of dairy! I used our Coconut Bliss Dark Chocolate Ice Cream and one little scoop of the cappuccino flavor with Santa Cruz Organic Chocolate Flavored Syrup and of course a banana. I didn’t have organic bananas for this picture but to make it completely organic it’s an easy fix.
So if you are trying to be healthier or can’t eat certain ingredients there are options out there. You don’t have to suffer.

The Dark Chocolate Flavor!

I may or may not have told some of you about “Coconut Bliss Ice Cream”. I tried “Bare Coconut”, the basic flavor, a little over a week ago. It was great. There were a couple other flavors at Central Market. I picked up the Dark Chocolate flavor a couple of days ago.
It was awesome! Brilliant really. Usually, I am not a huge fan of dark chocolate. It is a little too bitter for me. It seemed that the silky, creamy coconut milk fixed this “problem”. But this, this was better than any chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had, better than Ben and Jerry’s anything, better than Breyers or Dreyers. Only during the first couple of bites could I taste the coconut. After that it became just really, really, really good chocolate. Mmmmmmm. Even if you aren’t lactose intolerant or allergic to soy you should try it!

Happy eating everyone!

Coconut Milk Ice Cream – “Coconut Bliss”… literally.

I have an ice cream about which to rave! Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss. As of now I have tried only their Bare Coconut. It’s made out of coconut milk and agave juice. Being that I am lactose intolerant I am very excited. I have tried soy ice cream and rice ice cream. I’m not fond of either. I may go back to try the Rice Dream Ice Cream, because my taste has changed in the last few years. I might like it now. I’m not hopeful. I avoid soy because of some of the literature I have read about it. Avoiding it is just easier than worrying if estrogen-like chemical in it is going to mess with my already sensitive system.

At first I didn’t know what to think about it. I’m not a huge coconut fan. Honestly, I only eat it fresh or in a cookie on occasion. But after the first initial flavor/texture “shock”, I went back for more. It is very creamy. I like the slivers of real coconut in it. The coconut flavor is not overwhelming. And I don’t have that horrible craving for more. I love sweet things, but I hate how the mainstream sweets make me feel crazy. I want more, and more and feel addicted to it. This doesn’t happen with Coconut Bliss. I have a little bit and I’m done. It’s awesome!
They have an awesome little site. They list different flavors, explain about coconut milk and agave juice. They have a where to buy section and the other typical ones every site does, about us, contact us. Check it out and good eating!
