• 1 tsp of Stevia (optional)
• 1/2 cup of Raw Oats
• 1/4 cup of Cold Coconut Oil
• A few tbl of Spinach Juice and Pulp

(Directions)

• For the Ice Cream: First, mash your banana with a whisk, add your lemon juice and then your sugar. Let that sit for a minute and then mash some more until it looks custard like. Move your whisk around in an effort to whip air into it.
• Combine with the vanilla and then add your peanut butter after everything has been whisked and masked completely. Mix for a minute more then stash in the freezer for about an hour.
• Take out, whisk again and then place in the freezer while you decide which Brownie bites version you want to make.


• For your Non-raw Brownie Bites:, cream together the margarine, sugar and vanilla and refrigerate for about five minutes. Whisk again and then fold in your dry ingredients. Mix on high with electric beaters and then slowly pour your milk in until it comes together. Use an ice cream scoop and place onto a well-oiled cookie sheet and place in fridge for 15 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, crank the heat up to 400 for about five minutes and set back to 350 until the tops have firmed and the bottoms have browned well. Let cool for five minutes then scoop a bit of your ice cream top and enjoy!


• For the Raw Brownie Bites: Grind your oats together and then mix with everything else.
• Use an ice cream scoop to place them on some parchment paper and freeze until ready.
• Combine with your ice cream, serve everything extremely cold and enjoy!
