This creamy, island-inspired vegan Mango Ice Cream is fortified with flax oil (we used Solgar Earth Source Flaxseed Oil) for a hefty dose of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats (one serving contains almost 2,000 mg). Mango and goji berries add antioxidants and a lovely peach blush. For a kid-friendly summer treat, pour the ice cream mixture into Popsicle molds instead of freezing in an ice cream maker.
Did You Know?
Omega-3s are known as “essential” fats because our bodies don’t make them.
