Raw, vegan banana ice cream with a tart cherry twist! Our Tart Cherry Nana Cream is insanely delicious, sweetened by nature and made in just under 10 minutes. We’ve swirled together antioxidant rich tart cherries with bananas, dates and a splash of Navitas Naturals Lucuma Powder to create a dessert that is not only good for the soul but also beneficial for the body.

Tart cherries contain anthocyanins, providing both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Some studies have shown the consumption of tart cherry juice by athletes may increase the ability for muscles to rebound after intense physical activity, as well as, reduce pain associated with a strenuous workout.
