There are many different ice cream alternatives, which can be so much fun with children during the summer! Why not try some homemade ice cream with added superfood benefits, such as Ripe Organic’s Raw Lucuma Ice Cream.

Lucuma is derived from a fruit that is freeze dried to form a light cream powder. Lucuma has a pleasant sweet caramel taste and is a great alternative for sugar. It delivers an abundance of health benefits when added to your favorite food or beverage. In addition to satisfying your sweet tooth, Lucuma is gluten-free and a great source of antioxidants, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals of benefit to the immune system.

Add Lucuma to your baking or breakfast such as homemade bircher muesli, fresh juice, or give your daily smoothie an antioxidant kick and sweeten with a tsp of Lucuma. This superfood can also be used a natural medicine due to its antibiotic, antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
