Author Notes

The fact that there is not a line of avocado ice creams out there is kind of baffling to me since I think avocados are the best thing ever. They are creamy, vibrant and really good for you. Yes they are considered "fattening" by many but they have mostly good fats and are a great source of omega 6 fatty acids which can only be obtained through food sources. Omega 6 fatty acids are also really good for your brain.

Avocados are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids and actually helps decrease cholesterol.

They can be cooked, smushed, chopped, and now frozen.

In this recipe I have paired the avocados with matcha to make a superfood ice-cream and have placed it in between a ginger quinoa-oat cookie which is fantastic. —sabrina
