The benefits of raw food desserts are that you can enjoy dessert and digest them easily. And the next day, you don't feel like you ate an excess amount of sugar. Frozen fruit icecream is easy to make if you have a champion juicer, and is the perfect dessert. Keep a supply of frozen fruit when in season in the freezer and you can make a healthy pure fruit icecream in seconds.
