Spinach & Zucchini "Nice" Cream

​Nice cream is all the rage in our house! My kids love it and I love that it’s just fruit. But did you know you can also throw in some veggies?! Frozen zucchini adds a creamy texture with no real taste and spinach makes it a pretty green color. Add some mint extract and mini chocolate chips and it tastes just like Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream...  seriously! Give it a try and lettuce know what you think!
