Ingredients You’ll Need
Only a handful of simple, wholesome ingredients make this ice cream so satisfying:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries (unsweetened): The star of this recipe — naturally sweet, refreshing, and packed with antioxidants.
- 1 ripe banana, frozen: Adds creamy texture and natural sweetness, keeping the recipe zero-point.
- ½ cup fat-free Greek yogurt: Provides protein and creaminess without adding fat or sugar.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional): Enhances flavor and gives a dessert-like aroma.
- Sweetener of choice (optional): If you prefer a sweeter taste, use a zero-calorie option like Stevia or Monk Fruit.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Fruit
Slice the ripe banana into pieces and freeze it along with the strawberries.
Freezing overnight gives a creamier consistency — just like real ice cream!
2️⃣ Blend Everything Together
Add the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.
3️⃣ Blend Until Smooth
Blend until creamy and thick. You may need to stop and scrape the sides to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
4️⃣ Taste & Adjust
Taste the mixture — if it’s not sweet enough, add your preferred sweetener to taste.
(Remember: adding sugar or honey will add points, so use zero-calorie sweeteners if following WW.)
5️⃣ Freeze or Serve
- Soft-Serve Option: Enjoy right away for a creamy, frozen-yogurt-style dessert.
- Scoopable Option: Transfer to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours until firm.
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Scoop into bowls or cones and top with a few fresh strawberry slices for an extra fruity touch.
