Kate Zuckerman — pastry chef, savory chef, cooking instructor, recipe tester, cookbook author, avid commuter/cargo cyclist and mother of three kids – acquired the ice cream/blender bike from her cousin Paul, inventor, musician, bike enthusiast and founder of Rock the Bike, and has been churning out sweet treats in Brooklyn with SweetCycle ever since!
Check out her recipe for Malted Banana Chip Vegan Ice Cream:

Vegan Huckleberry from Little Panda Craft Ice Cream
Craig and Sha Myers are the brains behind Little Panda Craft Ice Cream, located in Missoula, Montana. So not only is Missoula home to the bicycle touring HQ of the nation but also, pedal-powered ice cream! The two combined are enough to make me consider relocating to the Big Sky State.
Little Panda is currently located at the Original Missoula Farmer’s Market, in the food court area, right next to the Burlington-Northern Railway building. If you are in the area on any given Saturday, stop by and grab a cone or shake, I hear the Ube ice cream is amazing!
Little Panda’s Ube Ice Cream!
It bears noting that we asked Little Panda for their Ube recipe but since this is one of their tastiest, flagship flavors–they rightly kept it under wraps. You must make the journey to the Original Missoula Farmer’s Market for a scoop, where in addition to Ube ice cream, they have many more full dairy or vegan ice cream and smoothie options. A lil’ something for everyone.
But wait, there’s more!
Check out this vegan, ice cream recipe Craig and Sha have so sweetly shared with us: their most authentic, Montana flavor, Huckleberry!
Enjoy from Little Panda!

Read MoreCouncilmembers, Actors, Demonstrate Pedal Power with Starbucks’ Bike Blender
The Starbucks Celebrity Blender Bike-Off Challenge for Charity was held Thursday, May 25 at Trump Tower, Manhattan. Among the celebrities who competed for the title of “Top Banana” while blending the latest Starbucks beverages on stationary blender bikes was City Councilmember Eric Gioia, who joined such notables as Mario Cantone, Steve Schirripa (Bobby on “The Sopranos”), Miss Universe 2005 and Chef Mark Murphy. To celebrate the introduction of the new Banana Frappuccino summer beverages, the cyclists competed to win $10,000 to donate to their favorite New York cause.
In celebration of the launch of two new tropically inspired Frappuccino blended beverages, the celebrities faced off on Starbucks blender-bikes to create the “perfect” Banana Coconut Frappuccino, which was rated on time and taste. The Fender Blender is a pedal-powered stationary bike fitted with a blender. It whips up an awesome Frappuccino blended beverage. Customers will see hundreds of the custom-designed, beach cruiser-cool Starbucks Fender Blenders popping up all over the country this summer at festivals, concerts, street fairs and community events.
Fender Blender Facts:
+ A cycling zealot can whip up as many as 180 Tall Frappuccino blended beverages in an hour.
+ The fastest Frappuccino blended beverage creation on record is 14 seconds.
+ It takes about 30 seconds for the average person to perfectly pedal a Frappuccino blended beverage (allow extra time if you want to add coconut flakes).
+ The average rider will burn about three calories for each Frappuccino blended beverage. + In a pinch, the Fender Blender can grind coffee or make a snappy guacamole too!
Frappuccino Beverage Facts:
The Banana Coconut Frappuccino blended coffee starts with real banana puree and the finest Latin American coffees which are blended with premium coconut syrup, milk and ice. Each Banana Coconut Frappuccino drink can then be topped with whipped cream and real toasted coconut flakes for an authentic taste of a tropical escape.
For the banana purist, Starbucks Bananas & Crme Frappuccino blended crme is a vibrant blend of real banana puree, milk, and ice. Topped with real whipped cream, the Bananas & Crme Frappuccino blended crme is the perfect cool and creamy summer treat. Participants in the Starbucks Fender Blender Challenge for Charity posed after competing for the title of “Top Banana” at New York’s Trump Tower on Thursday, May 25. (L. to r.) are: City Councilmember Eric Gioia, Councilmember Michael McMahon, actor Steve Schirripa of “The Sopranos”, Natalie Glebova, Miss Universe 2005, celebrity chef Marc Murphy and actor Mario Cantone from “Sex and the City”.

Read MorePumpkin Hummus
In addition to Pumpkin Salsa, this Pumpkin Hummus recipe is a perfect addition to any fall gathering. We have also found that the pumpkin puree allows the garbanzo beans to mix more easily, making this hummus easier to bike blend than other garbanzo-based hummus recipes. To ensure you incoporate the ingredients — and to scrape out every last drop — we recommend using a Spoonula for this recipe.
While serving this recipe at Raley’s one taste-tester claimed, “I love this hummus — and I don’t like hummus!” as he came back for a second sample. We know you and your guests, classroom, or co-workers will love this delicious seasonal hummus recipe.
PUMPKIN HUMMUS
Prep: 5-10 minutes
Serves: 8 (1/4 c servings)
**Note: This recipe requires the Spoonula for the best consistency**
Ingredients:
2/3 cup canned pumpkin (or half a 15oz can)
1 15oz can of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 tbsp tahini
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice (or half of a lemon)
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Bike Blend It:
1. Add all the ingredients in your Blendtec pitcher and cover with the lid.
2. Attach the pitcher to your bike blender blend slowly, while you or a friend tampers the ingredients back into the pitcher from the sides with the Spoonula. After about 1-2 minutes of constant pedaling check the consistency. If you’re having trouble incorporating all the ingredients add a little more olive oil.
3. Ring the bell because you’re done! Serve immediately, or cover in a bowl and refrigerate for later enjoyment.
