For the most part, ice cream is considered the mortal enemy of every weight loss diet; but the sole exception is the Paleo ice cream. The Paleo diet plan is a natural diet that emphasizes on a food plan that is much more in accordance with human evolutionary development, and it may even be argued that ice cream, for certain occasions, ought to be an integral part of that diet plan. Humans have evolved with a
very clever brain, and people have already figured out how ice cream can be made and how it can still be Paleo-worthy. Inordinate weight gain is less of a problem.
After all, there are some instances that are somehow incomplete without the presence of ice cream. Birthdays are such occasions, especially for younger Paleo adherents. Or sometimes you just want to curl up on the couch and watch The Notebook, and that kind of viewing experience always makes you crave for ice cream, and perhaps some tissue paper for the potential ice cream messes and inevitable tears.For the Paleo ice cream, you will need an ice cream maker. You can buy a nice one for about $70. It’s not all that expensive considering the coast of store-bought ice cream these days. With your own ice cream maker, you can customize the taste, adhere to Paleo principles, and avoid the stomach cramps and sugar buzz that commercial ice creams sometimes cause. The best place to keep your new ice cream maker is in the freezer. You need the ice cream maker to be really cold before you can start making your Paleo ice cream.
So what else do you need, aside from the ice cream maker? You’ll need a blender as well. After that, you can start on the ingredients, namely:
- 1 can of coconut milk
- ¼ cup of sweetener. Coconut sap is perfectly acceptable, as well as its evaporated version called coconut crystals. You may decrease the amount of sweetener if you want, and you can also use honey. A quarter-cup of sweetener can be too sweet for some folks.
- Other ice cream ingredients. You can use vanilla, cocoa powder, frozen berries, or whatever you desire to provide the flavor.
- Use the blender to mix all the ingredients, (the coconut milk, the sweetener, and the flavor giving ingredients), and place them all in the ice cream maker.
- Allow the maker to work its magic for about 20 minutes, after which you’ll get your ice cream the Paleo way.
- You can make enough ice cream at one go for three people—this means that you can invite a couple of friends over and share some creamy non-fattening ice cream. You can have a taste of wicked ice cream as you discuss great detail the various attributes of Ryan Gosling.
