Nothing beats a frozen creamy treat during any type of season for me. It could be 20 below 0 here in Chicago and I will want ice cream. So instead of making my homemade ice cream, I wanted a tangy fruity treat. Making your own versions of your favorite things to me is mandatory when you are trying to change your eating habits. You know exactly what's in it and you can customize it to your liking. This recipe is SUPER EASY!!
Ingredients
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 cups lite cool whip
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
¼ cup honey
1 frozen banana
3 cups frozen blueberries
Makes 2 quarts
Directions
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour and store in a freezer safe container. I use this one. This container only holds 1 1/2 quarts so you will have extra. Freeze in a separate
container, in ice trays to add in smoothies, or make Popsicles in a mold or Dixie paper cup.
The blender that you use needs to be kinda powerful because of all the ingredients that you are adding at one time. I use a Ninja. If you blender is not as powerful, I would recommend blending in stages. Half the ingredients at a time.
This recipe is so easy and delicious. If you are not a fan of blueberries try swapping it out with your favorite frozen fruit or fruits.
I added the cool whip, vanilla, and banana to take away some of the tangy-ness of the Greek yogurt, but if you enjoy that taste reduce those ingredients or omit them.
