Healthy Ice Cream

Carolina Q

Found this the other day and wanted to share. If you like ice cream, but don't like saturated fat, sodium or calories, check it out. I just made a batch of strawberry banana ice cream that I think is delicious. Soft serve style, though I will have to wait to see how it freezes. Only three ingredients... bananas, strawberries and a bit of sugar (2 tbls for 6 cups of ice cream - can also use honey or other sweetener). You need a blender too.

Looks like ice cream, tastes like it too. In fact, I don't really notice much of a banana flavor, mostly just strawberry. Several recipes, including chocolate, here. Gotta try the chocolate next!

Enjoy!!

Hmm, I'm told the above link is not so good. Perhaps this is better...

I do something similar for my girls. Freeze a few bananas and blend. Voilà! Banana ice cream.

@Carolina Q‌ That looks yummy! MaMa makes a killer Greek yogurt with fruit sort of sorbet/ice cream. Also does em up on popsicle sticks. Really tasty stuff.

Ok here ya go @Mattman3969‌
@HuskerMaMa‌ makes hers with coconut milk, low fat Greek yogurt and a variety of fruit or even coffee. Mix is made by eye and texture.

@Mattman3969‌ no problem. Anytime man. And here is what she uses to make the popsicles.


On the ice cream she just thickens it up lets it get almost frozen in the freezer. A quick stir and it's perfect for a healthy dessert.
