Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled and chopped)
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preparing the strawberries. If you are using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly, remove the stems, and chop them into small pieces. If using frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw slightly for easier blending. Place the strawberries into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. This creates a naturally sweet puree that forms the base of your ice cream.
- Add the non-fat Greek yogurt and vanilla extract to the blended strawberries. Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Make sure the yogurt is fully incorporated with the strawberry puree. Taste the mixture and, if you prefer a little more sweetness, you can add a natural sweetener like honey or stevia, although this is optional as the strawberries usually provide enough flavor on their own.
- Once blended, transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Spread it evenly and cover it tightly. Freeze for about 3 to 4 hours, stirring the mixture every hour to prevent large ice crystals from forming and to keep the texture creamy. When ready to serve, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. Enjoy it plain or garnish with fresh strawberries, mint, or any zero-point toppings of your choice.
