Ingredients and Their Roles

Each ingredient contributes to the creamy texture, natural sweetness, and refreshing flavor of this dessert:

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries (unsweetened) – Provides fruity flavor, vibrant color, and natural sweetness while keeping the ice cream creamy and refreshing.
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen – Acts as a natural sweetener and thickener, giving the dessert a smooth, ice cream-like texture without added sugar.
  • ½ cup fat-free Greek yogurt – Adds creaminess, protein, and a slight tang that balances the fruit sweetness. Can be swapped for plant-based yogurt for a vegan version.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional) – Enhances the overall flavor, adding depth and warmth.
  • Sweetener of choice (optional) – Stevia, monk fruit, or a small drizzle of maple syrup can be added if desired, but note that sweeteners may add WW points.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Zero-Point Strawberry Ice Cream

  1. Prep Your Fruit: Slice the ripe banana into small rounds and freeze it along with the strawberries. For best results, freeze overnight. This ensures a smooth, creamy texture that mimics traditional ice cream.
  2. Blend the Ingredients: In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract if using. Blend on high until the mixture becomes creamy and uniform.
  3. Scrape and Adjust: Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a splash of water or unsweetened almond milk to help it along.
  4. Taste and Sweeten: Give your ice cream a taste. If it needs extra sweetness, add a bit of your preferred sweetener, such as Stevia, monk fruit, or maple syrup. Remember that adding sweeteners may impact WW points.
  5. Serve or Freeze:
    • For a soft-serve style dessert, enjoy immediately straight from the blender.
    • For scoopable ice cream, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1–2 hours, until firm.

Pro Tips for Perfect Texture and Flavor

  • Freeze overnight: Freezing both the banana and strawberries ensures a creamy, scoopable texture.
  • Use ripe bananas: They provide natural sweetness and a smoother consistency.
  • High-powered blender: A strong blender or food processor is key for a creamy, ice-cream-like texture.
  • Customize flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon, a few fresh mint leaves, or even a small handful of blueberries for variation.
  • Vegan swap: Replace Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt to keep it dairy-free and still creamy.

Serving Suggestions

This Zero-Point Strawberry Ice Cream can be enjoyed on its own for a guilt-free treat, or topped with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa nibs, or crushed nuts for added texture and flavor. It pairs beautifully with light fruit salads or a simple granola topping for a refreshing summer dessert.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. To serve after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Stirring halfway through freezing can help maintain a smooth texture.

Conclusion: Guilt-Free, Delicious, and Refreshing

This Zero-Point Strawberry Ice Cream proves that indulgence doesn’t have to come with added sugar or points. With just three main ingredients — frozen strawberries, banana, and Greek yogurt — you can enjoy a naturally sweet, creamy, and refreshing dessert anytime.

Perfect for hot summer days, a light dessert after dinner, or a WW-friendly treat, this recipe is simple, versatile, and will quickly become a staple in your dessert repertoire. Enjoy a scoop (or two!) knowing it’s healthy, delicious, and completely guilt-free.
