Enjoy it alone, or top with fresh fruit and toasted coconut. 04 of 19 Virgin Banana Piña Colada Pops View Recipe The tropical flavors of a piña colada make for one delicious ice pop.

It's all fruit, dairy-free, vegan and contains no added sugar, but is bursting with sweet berry flavor. And it takes just minutes to whip up this easy healthy dessert in a food processor if you freeze the fruit ahead. While you'll get the best flavor from fresh berries, if you don't have them on hand, feel free to use store-bought frozen fruit in this recipe. Serve the nice cream on its own or top it with more fresh berries for a refreshing summer treat. 10 of 19 "Chocomole" Pudding View Recipe Creamy avocados make this dairy-free and vegan chocolate dessert recipe super-rich.
