Nutritious, versatile, and delicious, avocados have become a kitchen staple in many homes around the world.

While some people refer to avocados as fruits and some people say they’re a vegetable, avocados (Persea americana) are actually considered berries. They’re a member of the Lauraceae plant family, which also includes the cinnamon tree (1).

So… if you like berry ice cream, you will LOVE this health first creamy dairy free recipe!
