Believe it or not, there are many days where I just can’t hit my fat macros without having a snack designed specifically for that need. In order to hit fats, without adding much in carbs or protein, I started playing around with avocado ice cream. I saw few of these posted on Pinterest in the past, but never gave them much thought. Once I started tracking macros and seeing the need for higher fat content in my diet, I decided to play around with freezing avocado into an ice cream. On my first try, I mistakenly thought I needed banana to help with the flavor and texture. Below is my initial recipe, that is delicious, but also takes up some carbs.
