Check out this zero-point strawberry nice cream! Before anyone brings up fruit blending and points, I enjoy this treat with a spoon, not as a smoothie. I’ve shed over 60lbs while indulging in a big bowl of this daily (sometimes two), and it clocks in at 0 points.
Just blend fat-free plain Greek yogurt, frozen sliced strawberries, and a touch of Splenda in a food processor until it reaches your desired consistency. Sometimes I leave chunkier bits of strawberries, other times I go for a smoother texture. It’s absolutely delicious!
Ingredients:
-
- 1 cup Fat-Free Plain Greek Yogurt
- A bit over 2 cups frozen sliced strawberries (more for a thicker consistency)
- 1/4 cup Splenda (I tend to add a tad more for extra sweetness)
Instructions:
-
- Blend on high for about a minute.
- Mix and blend until it reaches desired smoothness, sometimes requiring a mix-blend-repeat cycle for larger batches.
- I prefer mine with some strawberry chunks, so I stop blending here!
Recipe Notes:
Next time, I’ll up the strawberry and Splenda quantities for a sweeter, thicker batch. Nonetheless, this version still tastes fantastic
FAQs
Q: Can I substitute the Splenda with another sweetener?
A: Absolutely! Feel free to swap Splenda with your preferred sweetener to suit your taste.
Q: Is it possible to substitute normal yoghurt for Greek yoghurt?
A: While Greek yogurt provides a thicker consistency, you can use regular yogurt if that’s what you have on hand. Just be aware that the texture might be slightly different.
Q: How long does this nice cream last in the freezer?
A: It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before serving.
Q: Can I make this recipe with different fruits?
A: Absolutely! Get creative with your fruit choices. Bananas, blueberries, or mangoes would all make delicious additions or substitutions.
Q: Is this recipe suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals?
A: If you’re lactose intolerant, you can try using lactose-free yogurt or a dairy-free alternative like almond or coconut yogurt. Adjust the sweetener as needed since some alternative yogurts may be sweeter than Greek yogurt.
