I’m feelin’ supercalifragilisticexpialidooooociousssss! Wanna know why? Because I just ate a big bowl of this Peaches and Cream Ice Cream. And it was PERFECT. It’s so sweet and creamy, and it’s juuuust peachy.
I thought I’d take advantage of the horribly hot and humid weather here in Texas and make a batch of ice cream. Healthy ice cream, of course!
I had a bag of frozen peaches in my freezer for far too long and wanted to use them up. When brainstorming recipe ideas, Peaches and Cream came to mind! So I ran to the kitchen and got started.
Healthy Peaches and Cream Ice Cream — made without the refined sugar, corn syrup, artificial flavorings, and artificial food dyes!

While blending, slowly add the xanthan gum. Lastly, add the yogurt.

Not bad for a serving of ice cream, amiright? Typically, a ½ cup serving of storebought ice cream has anything between 180-300 calories, 10g-20g fat, and 18g-20g sugar. A far cry from this Healthy Peaches and Cream Ice Cream!
Enjoy!
