Let’s start this off with the absolute BEST cranberry orange bread ever. Why is it the best?

This surprisingly healthy vegan cranberry ice cream has a tart and refreshing flavor. Cranberry sauce is blended into a non-dairy base of milk, cashews, maple syrup, plus a small amount of oatmeal for that extra creamy element! Ice cream may not be your typical choice for a Christmas dessert, but I  can definitely get on board with a healthy Cranberry ice cream! Just think how great this would be on a freshly baked pie.
