Very Vanilla Pear Ginger Ice Cream

Who doesn't love ice cream? We know we do. Unfortunately, it's either packed with sugar, artificial sweeteners, or other junk we don't want! Yup! All that "healthy" ice cream you've been eating, isn't all that healthy for you! Enter Luxe and the Lady! With this amazing recipe, we're able to get our sweet tooth fix without any of the nasty stuff! It's made with Zevia too, but you probably already knew that!
