HEALTHY MAGNUM ICE CREAM
Summer is around the corner and that means Ice Cream Recipes as well!!
I wanted to share with you this amazing chocolate ice cream recipe that will remind you of the classic magnums but in a healthier version!
Needless to say, these healthy ice creams are gluten free, refined sugar free, dairy free, high in protein and vegan! Ahá!
The main ingredient here is actually a nut that is not really considered a nut! You know it…cashews!
Cashews are an excellent source of micronutrients like vitamins and minerals including copper, manganese, magnesium and phosphorous, vitamin K, iron, and zinc.
Cashews are well known for their rich buttery flavor and texture and are increasingly popular in the making of dairy replacements!
As always, remember that nuts are high energy dense foods, so a little goes a long way!
DIABETIC DIET TIP
There’s never been a better ice cream solution for a diabetic than this amazing healthy ice cream recipe.
The best thing about it is that you can enjoy a delicious and nutrient dense chocolate ice cream that won’t spike your sugar levels!
The filling of the ice cream is made mainly with cashews, real cacao and ideal protein powder. So not only these provide healthy fats but also add a good amount of protein to each ice cream! You already love it right?
From our personal experience, we have been enjoying these every other day at night while watching a movie and they’re the perfect high protein snack with a chocolate rich flavour! Your sugar levels will stay on point as long as you have levels between 80 and 120 mg/dL prior to eating them (not on a hyperglycemia state).

Los macronutrientes de éstos magnums saludables de chocolate son ideales. Si te salen 6 magnums, cada uno tendrá:
191kcal
10.3gr proteína
7.1gr carbs netos
1.6gr fibra
2.1gr azúcares
13.6gr grasas
* Ten en cuenta que no he incluido la información nutritional de la cobertura de chocolate ya que va a depender de qué tipo de chocolate utilizes.
Si comparamos con el Magnum classic de toda la vida, increíble las diferencias!!
Un Magnum classic de la marca Magnum contiene:
270kcal
2gr proteína
26gr carbs netos
2gr fibra
23gr azúcares
17gr grasas
Además, no te olvides que es un procesado y que contiene azúcares refinados y grasas hidrogenada, a comparación de la receta que te comparto aquí que son ingredientes de calidad y nutritivos.
INGREDIENTES
200gr de anacardos remojados (preferiblemente durante la noche, sino unas 4 horas). Es lo mismo que usar 70-80gr de anacardos crudos y remojarlos después que se convierten en 200gr
2 cucharadas o 30ml de aceite de coco derretido
1 cucharadita o 5ml de extracto de vainilla
120ml de bebida vegetal, yo he usado de almendra
20gr de cacao en polvo 100%
50gr de proteína de chocolate o de vainilla
100gr de chocolate negro (al menos 80% cacao)
PASOS
Triturar los anacardos ya previamente remojados con el extracto de vainilla, bebida vegetal y el aceite de coco.
Una vez esté mezclado y hayas conseguido una consistencia suave, transferir a un bol y añadir el cacao y la proteína mezclando hasta que quede todo bien incorporado.
Verter la mezcla en moldes para helados (mi molde es de 3 helados y me llegó para 2 veces) y dejar en el congelador al menos 3 horas.
Derretir chocolate en el microondas o al baño maría.
Desmoldar los helados y cubrirlos con chocolate.
Dejar en el congelador almenos media hora más y ya están listos para consumir! (yo los dejo encima de papel de horno para que no manchen)
* Conservar en el congelador, sacarlos del congelador unos 10 minutos antes de consumirlos ya que sino estarán demasiado duros!
