Only a few weeks till Christmas! How did that happen? I love the end of the year, despite all the chaos. I came across this quote (well, word, I guess) - and it perfectly sums up how I feel at the moment:<\/p>\n

Vorfreude. {n.} The joyful, intense anticipation that comes from imagining future pleasures.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Isn't that beautiful? Nothing beats the excitement at the anticipation of a new year. And even though it's Christmas and there's crowds to face and shopping to do - I'm so enjoying having space to be quiet and journal and reflect on the year that's been and the year to come. I have exciting things to share with you next year by the way!<\/p>\n

Today's post is a particularly summery treat, a dairy free strawberry ice cream that not only tastes delicious, but also provides a sense of calm with thanks to the secret ingredient - chamomile!<\/p>\n

\"Detail<\/p>\n

Strawberry chamomile ice cream<\/h3>\n

This is a healthy, refreshing ice cream free from refined sugars and dairy, with a little bit of help from a herbal friend to ease stress during this pre Christmas rush.<\/p>\n

Coconut cream is used instead of dairy, a great, natural saturated fat necessary in the diet for absorbing the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.<\/p>\n

Strawberries are low sugar and rich in anti-aging antioxidants – choose organic as they are notoriously sprayed and always feature near the top of the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen list.<\/a><\/p>\n

Coconut nectar makes a great low GI sweetener and is minimally refined, meaning it is still a rich source of minerals.<\/p>\n

Chamomile is flowering now as we head into summer, a beautiful herb to keep in the garden. Ruled by the sun, chamomile is best known for her calming actions, and is a great remedy for digestive complaints. Perfect for this stressful silly season.<\/p>\n

This is the cheat’s way to make ice cream, if you will. It is extremely quick, but best eaten straight away – once frozen it becomes too hard to scoop.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
