Chocolate Beet And Vanilla Soft Serve

• 5-6 peeled frozen bananas
• 1 1/2 tbsp organic vanilla extract OR the seeds of one vanilla pod
• 1 shot vanilla rice milk ( I like Natura rice milk)
• 1 pinch coarse sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon organic grounnd cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon organic maple syrup
• 2 ice cubes of frozen beet juice
• 1/4 cup organic 100% cocoa powder
• 1/8 cup poppy seeds (optional)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

1. Buy or juice your own beet juice. Freeze into cubes in a ice cube tray.
2. Next day: If using vanilla pod, split down the middle and scrape out the seeds into a food processor. Puree first 8 ingredients until silky smooth in a food processor. Add chocolate chips and pulse once to incorporate. If you are feeling adventurous, throw in 1/8 cup of poppy seeds and pulse. Serve immediately for soft-serve like ice cream OR transfer to a large bowl and freeze covered with cling film for hard ice cream texture.
3. If you are VEGAN and do not consume alcohol, use a vanilla pod instead of extract. I highly recommend including the chocolate chips, especially if you find the beet flavor too overpowering.
