- Next, add in a cup of unsweetened coconut flakes.
- Now add in your mix-ins. I like chocolate chips and ground flaxseed. But you could also add in some chopped nuts, dates, raisins and even switch out the flaxseed to wheat bran, chia seed or something similar or even cocoa powder.
- Then add a teaspoon (or two) of vanilla!
- Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Notes
** This recipe is awesome because it is so customizable to what you have in your pantry. You can substitute almost anything for any of the ingredients to work around food allergies, special diets, etc.
Soybutter, almond butter, cashew butter, sun butter, Nutella (if you want something richer), all works in place of peanut butter.
If you do not like or cannot eat coconut try some type of crushed cereal, wheat germ, whole wheat flour, granola, cocoa powder...the possibilities are really endless.
If you cannot find ground flaxseed you can buy it whole and grind it yourself in a coffee grinder or magic bullet or you can substitute any other dry ingredient.
Yes, the mini chocolate chips can be regular sized or carob or you can use raisins, cranberries, goji berries, or crushed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, whatever) of some kind.
I may receive a small amount of compensation or reward when you purchase from links in my videos, descriptions and/or posts and I promise to totally blow it on my ice cream and shoe shopping habits. You also won’t be charged extra by using these links, so it’s a win-win!
