July is here and we're extra glad because it's National Ice Cream Month! Traditional ice cream isn't always the best options since it's full of artificial flavors and colors, not to mention all that sugar. We've got four simple (and sweet) dairy-free "nice cream" recipes that you can whip up in no time-no ice cream maker required. This homemade treat is super versatile so be sure to experiment with your favorite flavors!
