🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe banana (adds natural sweetness and creaminess)
- ½ cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1–2 tbsp honey or zero-calorie sweetener (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Splash of milk (as needed for blending)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the ingredients
Make sure your strawberries are fully frozen and your banana is ripe for the best natural sweetness and texture.
2. Blend everything together
Add the frozen strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and optional sweetener into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture starts to come together.
3. Adjust the texture
If the mixture is too thick or difficult to blend, add a small splash of milk. Blend again until smooth, creamy, and lump-free. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides once or twice.
4. Serve or freeze
For a soft-serve consistency, enjoy immediately. If you prefer a firmer, scoopable ice cream, transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
Serve your strawberry ice cream in a bowl or cone and top with fresh strawberries for extra flavor. You can also sprinkle crushed nuts, granola, or even a few dark chocolate shavings for a more indulgent touch.
💡 Tips
- Use a very ripe banana to enhance sweetness without extra sugar.
- For a true zero-point version, skip honey and use a calorie-free sweetener.
- Blend in batches if your blender is small to avoid overloading.
- Store leftovers in small portions for quick, ready-to-eat treats.
