Coconut and Bliss: Insta-Worthy Nice Cream Bowl Recipes

There's a lot to love about nice cream. Not only is it deliciously vegan-friendly, when it’s done right, it’s incredibly pretty to look at, and it's so nutritiously healthy, you can tuck in entirely guilt-free. Simply put, nice cream is frozen bananas blended up into a soft serve and topped with an array of goodness. Think peanut butter, cacao nibs, buckinis, raw brownies, blueberries and hemp seeds.

Sophie Fisher from Coconut and Bliss (yes, that Coconut and Bliss, with the incredibly delicious Instagram feed that will convert you to veganism) has pulled together her favourite nice cream recipes, so that you too can whip up an array of gorgeous healthy treats.
