Zero Point Ice Cream

This is one of my favorite treats at the moment.  You can make it in a lot of different variations. There is a version that adds cocoa powder and peanut butter, which sounds really yummy.  But, I prefer to use frozen fruit (no sugar added) to keep it point free.

You will need:

  • food processor
  • frozen banana (You will need to prepare this beforehand.  Peel and slice a banana into circles, place it on a small plate in a single layer and freeze; overnight is best.)
  • about 1/2 cup of your favorite frozen fruit (no sugar added)
  • about 1 tablespoon milk



I made this batch using frozen peaches.  I think
this has been my favorite flavor so far.
Directions:
  • Place banana in the food processor and blend until finely chopped.
  • Add your favorite frozen fruit, cutting up larger pieces.
  • Blend until fruit is chopped and blended with banana.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon of milk.
  • Blend until creamy.

Play with it!  I keep several bananas frozen and ready, along with two to three different kinds of frozen fruit. This insures that I have a quick easy treat available whenever I get a craving.


I made this batch with frozen blueberries!  YUMMY!

  2. I make this all the time with just non fat greek or plain yogurt, frozen fruit and Splenda but try and stay away from the high point fruits like bananas, mangos and blueberries. I use strawberries more than anything because 1 cup of blended strawberries are only 1 point.
