Vegan ice cream is pretty simple, because the creamy mouthfeel is just whipped & emulsified saturated fat. Coconut oil is about as saturated as dairy fat (and probably similarly unhealthy) and works just fine.

there are a few diff brands making coconut-milk based ice-cream-like frozen desserts now
despite having no dairy or soy they are just/almost as sugary and fatty as real ice cream so not really "healthy"

i'm not all that sold on bananas being super-healthy either. like if you ate nothing but bananas i bet you'd get yonabetes.

some friend of mine had a theory as to why the coconut fat was better than the dairy fat but w/e the sugar is the worst part even if its agave or whathaveyou

― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 21:36 (eleven years ago) link
the sugar thats in fruits and vegetables is fine, stay away from refined sugar, is how its broken down to an extent
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 21:38 (eleven years ago) link

Coconut milk is one of the most fatty, caloric things on the planet. I don't know about coconut-based ice cream, but when I cook with coconut milk I always use the low-fat version and it still adds mucho calories to a meal. It's delicious though.

coconut milk is of the gods. is super rich & fatty though. a friend of mine who was crazy about it once wanted to eat just the "cream", the solids that separate out if the can sits for a while. was delicious, but we both felt kind of sick after just a bite.
― contenderizer, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 22:40 (eleven years ago) link
Every time I eat something with coconut milk in it, I'm full for minimum 6 hours

Tho tbh I don't really believe in snacks

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 22:45 (eleven years ago) link
It's a belief that sometimes causes me problems... blood-sugar-related anger problems... so I try to remember to put some almonds in my purse or something. xp
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 17 July 2012 22:47 (eleven years ago) link
lunch is usually what some might consider a snack. Like half an avocado and some cheese/meat. It's a meal! Calorically/nutritionally.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 17 July 2012 22:48 (eleven years ago) link
Lunch is truly the most boring and utilitarian of meals imo so might as well make it a snack.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 17 July 2012 22:49 (eleven years ago) link
really though, snacks and non-sustainable resource extraction are the downfall of western civilization

I would accept a a gin and tonic or a beer as a snack

"half an avocado and some cheese/meat. It's a meal!"
that's like something out of dickens if dickens went to UCSB for undergrad.

if i go into the kitchen on a whim and eat a handful of almonds or a bunch of grapes, it is a snack. i am in favor of snacks.

baby carrots taste like nothing! I think they are made out of the worst carrots and then soaked in preservative-laced water to boost colour + remove all flavour (citation needed)
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 17 July 2012 23:13 (eleven years ago) link
otm japan = best snacks
