Although you can purchase your blueberries either fresh or frozen, we love summertime in BC most because of the abundance of plump, juicy blueberries readily available. Whether you take the family for a day of highbush blueberry picking at your local farm, BC blueberries offer health benefits, versatility and awesome taste!

How to Buy & Store Fresh Blueberries
I love looking for those firm, plump deep blue coloured berries. We love snacking on them throughout the day! To keep your blueberries fresh, refrigerate them as soon as you get them home, in their original plastic packaging. I like to store them in a glass covered bowl container. Only rinse your berries just before you’re going to use them.
Pro Tip: Buy extra blueberries and freeze them so you can eat them throughout the year. To freeze your blueberries, wash them and make sure they’re dry and keep them in a reusable food storage silicone bag.
For store-bought frozen BC blueberries. Look for the "BC Grown" logo, and check the country of origin listed on the bag to make sure it says "Canada"!


Health Benefits of Blueberries
- Low in calories but high in nutrients – the most nutrient dense berries. One cup (148 gram) serving of blueberries contains 4 grams Fiber, 24% RDI Vitamin C, 36% RDI Vitamin K and 25% RDI of Maganese.
- Antioxidants – excellent source of antioxidants that protects your body from free radicals.
- Reduces Cholesterol – blueberries help reduce a predominant risk factor for heart disease by preventing oxidative damage to “bad” LDL cholesterol.
- Anti-Diabetes Effect – helps to improve insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels.

Ingredients and Substitutes
You are going to have a lovely day enjoying this lemon blueberry ice cream! Current conditions and forecasts including 7 hot day outlook with daytime high temperatures 35 to 40 degrees Celsius inland. I recommend making a a big batch of this homemade ice cream recipe with simple ingredients and store it in an airtight container or ninja pints. This way, you will always have your favourite vegan blueberry ice cream handy next time you are craving something sweet!
- Frozen Wild Blueberries
- Full-fat Coconut Milk (Almond Milk or Oat Milk works equally great but Coconut Milk has a higher fat content)
- Lemon Zest
- Organic Coconut Sugar or Monk Fruit Sugar
- Vanilla Extract (optional)
How To Make Blueberry Nice Cream
Making frozen desserts and ice cream at home is easy. All it takes is 3 ingredients and you can be enjoying fresh homemade blueberry no-churn ice cream in less than 5 minutes!
This ice cream recipe is so easy to make with either a high-speed blender or an ice cream machine like the Ninja Cremi.
Instead of heavy cream, for a dairy free ice cream, I use full-fat can of coconut cream that is unsweetened like Thai coconut milk, organic coconut sugar and frozen blueberries for a creamy and healthy Nice-cream dessert. I love that it is so simple yet so refreshing and guilt-free!
Combine blueberries and ice cream mixture to your Vitamix blender (liquids first, then powder and frozen items last.)
Blend on high for 40 seconds and stirring occasionally with the tamper to keep pressing the ingredients towards the blade for a smooth, even blend.
Fold in lemon zest after the ice cream has finished blending. Serve immediately and enjoy!
How To Thaw Frozen Ice Cream
You can soften your frozen full fat coconut milk treat with blueberries and lemon in no time simply by:
- Soften your ice cream in the refrigerator
- Microwave for a quick fix
- Leave it out to room temperature for a few minutes.
- Run the container under hot water if you are pressed for time.
