Vanilla Ice Cream… But Make It Heal You 🍦✨
Swap It Like It’s Hot: This ➝ That
I used to think I was eating “normal.”
Vanilla ice cream?
That was just dessert… right?
But my body told a different story.
Every time I ate it, I would cough, feel irritated in my throat, and just off.
Not satisfied. Not nourished. Just… triggered.
And that’s when I realized:
👉 It was never about weight loss for me.
👉 It was about my gut, my healing, and what my body could actually tolerate.
The Problem With “Regular” Ice Cream 🍨❌
Most vanilla ice creams are made with:
- Dairy (hard on sensitive guts)
- Artificial flavors
- Processed sugars
- Additives your body doesn’t recognize
So even if it tastes good…
your gut is like:
“What is this???”
And for me?
It showed up as throat irritation and discomfort.
So, I Swapped It 🔁
Instead of forcing my body to deal with something it clearly didn’t like…
I found something better.
Something my body actually agrees with.
✔️ Dairy-free
✔️ Simple ingredients
✔️ Sweetened naturally
✔️ Easier on digestion
And here’s where I take it a step further…
My Healing Twist: Slippery Elm Bark 🌿
I don’t just eat ice cream anymore.
I upgrade it.
I add:
👉 Slippery elm bark
Why?
Because it:
- Coats and soothes the throat
- Supports the gut lining
- Helps calm irritation
So instead of coughing after I eat…
I feel smooth, calm, and good.
My Go-To Clean Vanilla Ice Cream Is Fronen 🧾
When I choose or recreate ice cream, I look for:
- Coconut cream
- Natural sweeteners (like honey, dates, or coconut sugar)
- Real vanilla (not “vanilla flavor”)
- I also add agave powder to give a more vanilla taste & or vanilla cream
This vs. That 👇
❌ This (Regular Ice Cream):
- Dairy-heavy
- Processed sugars
- Artificial ingredients
- Triggers my throat & gut
✅ That (My Swap):
- Dairy-free
- Naturally sweetened
- Gut-friendly
- Upgraded with slippery elm bark (add this yourself)
- Actually supports my healing
This Isn’t About Losing Weight…
Let me say this clearly:
I didn’t change my food just to lose weight.
I changed my food because:
👉 My body was talking
👉 My gut needed healing
👉 I was tired of feeling off
And the weight?
That followed naturally.

“Stop eating what hurts you just because it tastes good.
Find the foods that your hut loves.”
