Ingredients
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Frozen strawberries | 2 cups |
Ripe banana (sliced and frozen) | 1 medium |
Fat-free Greek yogurt | ½ cup |
Vanilla extract (optional) | 1 teaspoon |
Sweetener of choice (optional) | To taste |
- Fresh sliced strawberries
- Sugar-free chocolate drizzle
- Crushed nuts or granola (adds points)
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Fruit
- Slice the banana and freeze it for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight.
- Use pre-frozen strawberries or freeze fresh ones ahead of time.
2. Blend the Base
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, and Greek yogurt.
- Add vanilla extract if using.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take a few minutes depending on your blender.
3. Adjust Sweetness
- Taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a small amount of your favorite zero-calorie sweetener (like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol) and blend again.
4. Serve or Freeze
- For soft-serve texture, serve immediately in bowls or cones.
- For a firmer, scoopable consistency, transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for 1–2 hours.
- Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping if frozen solid.
Storage & Serving Tips
- Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- For best texture, stir the ice cream halfway through freezing to prevent ice crystals.
- Serve with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
