If you’ve been craving a guilt-free, refreshing, and delicious ice cream alternative that’s so satisfying it feels indulgent, this 0-point ice cream is going to blow your mind! And trust me, it’s not just some random snack—this treat has been a game changer for me. I’ve lost over 60lbs by having a big bowl (sometimes two!) of this every single day, and it’s helped me stay on track without feeling deprived.
The beauty of this ice cream is that it’s made from blended frozen fruit—and no, I’m not talking about a smoothie! The key is to enjoy it with a spoon, not as a drink, so it feels like you’re actually indulging in something creamy and rich, rather than just slurping down a smoothie. It’s so thick, it almost has a soft-serve texture, and the fruitiness and natural sweetness make it feel like a special treat.
You can make this in a few different ways depending on your preferences. Sometimes, I leave bigger chunks of strawberries or other fruits in it for extra texture, and other times, I blend it all down to a soft-serve consistency. Either way, it’s incredibly satisfying, and I love how versatile it is. Plus, the best part is that it’s 0 points—seriously! You can have a big bowl of this “ice cream” without worrying about tracking it as part of your daily points.
My 0-Point “Ice Cream” Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries (or any other fruit you like—mango, blueberries, peaches, etc.)
- 1/2 banana, frozen (optional, for extra creaminess and sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other milk of your choice, just adjust as needed for texture)
- Sweetener of choice (if you want it sweeter, you can use a little Stevia or Splenda, but the fruit usually provides plenty of sweetness!)
Instructions:
- Blend the Fruit:
- Add the frozen strawberries (and other frozen fruit, if using) to your blender or food processor. If you’re using banana, break it into chunks and add it too. Blend the fruit with a splash of almond milk (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) to help the blending process.
- You want to blend it until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If you want it to be thicker, add a little less milk; for a smoother, creamier texture, add more milk or use a bit more frozen banana.
- Adjust Texture:
- Chunky or Smooth? The beauty of this “ice cream” is that you can customize it to your liking. If you want to leave some texture, stop blending once it’s mostly smooth, but still has some fruit chunks. If you want it to be completely soft-serve like, keep blending until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Serve Immediately:
- Once it’s blended to your preferred consistency, scoop it into a bowl and enjoy right away! It’s best served immediately as it will melt down the longer it sits, but it’s still delicious if you need to freeze leftovers for later.
- Optional Toppings:
- For some extra fun, you can top your 0-point ice cream with a few sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a little extra flavor without adding too many extra points.
Why It Works:
- Zero Points: The fruit in this recipe is naturally low in calories, and when you blend it into a thick, creamy consistency, it feels just like eating ice cream—without the guilt.
- Big on Flavor: The sweetness from the fruit is perfect, especially when blended with frozen bananas, which gives it a creamy texture. You won’t miss the real ice cream!
- Customizable: You can easily change the fruit you use depending on what’s in season or your personal preferences. Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green twist if you’re looking to sneak in more veggies (it won’t alter the taste much if you blend it well).
