Recipe Collab: Lucuma Ice Cream Sandwich

A frozen treat that delivers a superfood punch? Sign us up! This vegan, gluten-free recipe features a double dose of lucuma, a nutritious Peruvian fruit that contains beta carotene, iron, zinc, vitamin B3, calcium and protein. You'll find it in the Toasted Quinoa Flakes we've used for the cookies, and again inside the frozen banana "nice cream."
