Cooking With CURE: Blueberry Coconut 'Nice Cream' Bars Recipe

Now that August is here, there’s no better way to beat the mid-summer heat than with an ice-cold snack — at least that’s what the oncology dietitians at the John Theurer Cancer Center had in mind when they created this week’s Cooking with CURE recipe for blueberry coconut ‘nice cream’ bars!

This healthy faux-ice cream treat is made with just five simple ingredients and only requires a blender and a freezer. Don’t have ice pop molds? Simply freeze the mixture in bowls and eat like regular ice cream! It’s also vegan and can help soothe mouth sores in patients who are experiencing them as a result of treatment.

Give them a try today and be sure to share your creation on social media with #CookingWithCURE!
