Churro Nice Cream: Gut-Healthy Dessert with Lucuma, Maca & Chocolate Chips

Churro-Inspired Nice Cream: Dessert Meets Gut Health

When you think of churros, you probably picture warm, cinnamon-sugar bites of happiness. We wanted to take that nostalgic flavor and reimagine it in a way that feels indulgent but still supports your gut health. Enter: our Churro Smoothie Cube Nice Cream.

This recipe is extra thick (because we use half the liquid) and layered with superfoods like lucuma, maca, and cacao nibs, plus little pops of chocolate chip—all without added sugar. Think churros dipped in chocolate sauce, but upgraded for your wellness routine.

Why You’ll Love This Flavor

  • Gut-friendly: Lucuma and maca add probiotics to keep digestion balanced.

  • Energy support: Maca is known for its natural energy boost.

  • Dessert vibes: Warm notes of cinnamon to give you that authentic churro flavor—no deep fryer required.

No added sugar: Just the natural sweetness from fruit + lucuma.

 


Spotlight on Lucuma

Nicknamed the “Gold of the Incas,” lucuma is more than just a natural sweetener:

  • Rich in antioxidants to help fight oxidative stress and support healthy skin.

  • Source of dietary fiber that supports digestion and gut microbiome balance.

  • Contains essential minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron for energy and bone health.

  • Low-glycemic index makes it a smart sweetener for steady blood sugar.
