0-Point Strawberry Soft Serve
This recipe relies on frozen fruit to create a creamy, ice-cream-like texture that is naturally sweet.
-
Prep time: 5 minutes
-
Servings: 1 large bowl
-
Points: 0 (when eaten with a spoon)
Ingredients
-
Frozen Strawberries: 2 cups (frozen solid)
-
Liquid Base: 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or water (just enough to help blending)
-
Optional Creaminess: 2–3 tbsp non-fat plain Greek yogurt (keeps it at 0 points)
-
Natural Sweetener: A few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit (optional, as the berries are sweet)
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the Fruit: If your strawberries are very large, let them sit at room temperature for about 2–3 minutes so they aren’t rock hard, which helps your blender or food processor.
-
Blend: Place the frozen strawberries and your choice of liquid base into a high-speed blender or food processor.
-
Achieve the Texture: Pulse the mixture until it starts to break down.
-
For Soft Serve: Continue blending until completely smooth and creamy.
-
For “Chunky” Style: Stop blending while there are still small bits of frozen strawberry left for added texture.
-
-
Incorporate Air (Optional): For a fluffier “ice cream” texture, you can add one egg white (if you are comfortable with raw egg) or a splash of aquafaba (chickpea liquid) and whip it into the frozen mixture.
-
Serve Immediately: Scoop the mixture into a large bowl. Be sure to eat it with a spoon to keep it tracked as a 0-point meal rather than a smoothie!
