It is incredibly quick to whip up and perfect for a light, high-protein snack or a healthy treat the whole family will love.
Ingredients
2 cups nonfat Greek yogurt (plain)
1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
¼ cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste based on your sweetness preference)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Optional: A splash of fresh lemon juice (for an extra bright, zesty pop of flavor)
Instructions
1. Blend the Base Until Silky
In a high-speed blender or a food processor, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, mixed berries, honey (or agave), vanilla extract, and the optional splash of lemon juice. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until the berries are completely broken down, the color is beautifully vibrant and pink, and the texture is completely smooth.
2. Choose Your Consistency
For a Soft-Serve Texture: You can enjoy this thick, creamy mixture right out of the blender!
For Scoopable Ice Cream: Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container or a loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
3. Freeze and Set
Place the container in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.
⭐ Pro Tip: To keep the texture exceptionally creamy and prevent large ice crystals from forming, give the mixture a thorough stir with a fork every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours.
Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit on the counter for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Use a warm ice cream scoop to dish out beautiful, rounded scoops into a bowl
