Natural green ice cream

This is me experimenting with natural food colouring.

I took a tiny amount of spirulina and added it to a scoop of my vegan coconut vanilla ice cream, and this was the result – natural green ice cream.

I really couldn’t taste it at all, and if you were making a mint flavoured dish, the blue-green colour would complement it perfectly.

I also figure that if added the spirulina when I was originally blending the ice cream (or whatever I was making), it would blend in even better (without the tiny green specks).

As a kid I LOVED colouring food green, much to the dismay of my family.

So I’m kind of hoping that making foods colourful might increase the chances that the small people in my life will eat my creations, and I’m SO not keen to use regular food colourings.

And there’s heaps of ideas for different ways you can colour dishes using whole food ingredients.

Funnily enough, I find myself really nervous to try adding all kinds of strange foods to my dishes to colour them naturally, mostly because I don’t want the flavour to be ruined.

But I am definitely going to keep experimenting, because it’s fun!

Have an adventurous day :D

Nikki, Eating Vibrantly

I studied Biochemistry and Genetics at Monash University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science, with Honours. I’ve always had a passion for natural health, having grown up with asthma, eczema and numerous food allergies, and I wanted to help my kids avoid the same issues. I love blending science and alternative approaches to find the best of both worlds, and I’m always looking for ways to create more amazing health and happiness in my life. Learn more about me »

My favourite kitchen gadgets

Having the right gadgets has totally changed my experience in the kitchen.

High-speed blender
Vitamix blender

I use my Vitamix blender at least 2-3 times EVERY day. It’s fast, so versatile and super quick and easy to clean. I couldn’t live without mine. I absolutely love it!

Food processor
Food processor

I use my powerful food processor three or four times a week, for making nut butters, desserts, sauces, burgers and more. It’s great for large batches and dishes that need texture and just makes “cooking” so much faster.

Dehydrator
Excalibur dehydrator

I use my 5-tray Excalibur dehydrator once or twice a week, for crackers, breads, biscuits, cakes or even just for thawing things. It does an awesome job and makes eating raw SO much easier.
