There’s something about eating ice cream that just makes you feel happy. Perhaps it takes you back to childhood memories, or maybe it is just that delicious. Unfortunately, dairy is one of the worst things you can put in your body. We know this is hard to believe, considering advertisements have been telling you that milk supports bone health since before you can remember, but it’s true. There is no evidence that dairy supports bone health or prevents you from osteoporosis.
What does all this have to do with National Ice Cream Day? Well, we are here to tell you that you can easily make ice cream without dairy. Not only does it taste fresh and delicious, but it’s also much better for you. One thing we recommend is investing in either an ice cream maker, if you want to get fancy about it, or a high-speed, durable blender. A sturdy, well-made blender makes blending the ingredients for ice cream quick and easy.

Hydrating Watermelon Sorbet
Just when you thought watermelon couldn’t get any better, it did with this refreshing sorbet. If you’d rather have more of a slushie, you can use a little more water. A thicker sorbet will come from using less water and more ice. If you’re feeling a little experimental, add in a few mint leaves!
