Ice Cream Ingredients

2 cups low-fat Greek yogurt, sweetened with Splenda (480 g)
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (300 g)
3 large ripe bananas, sliced (360 g)

How to make easy strawberry banana ice cream

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure your strawberries are hulled and chopped, and your bananas are sliced.
Add to Blender: In a blender, add 2 cups (480 g) of low-fat Greek yogurt sweetened with Splenda, chopped strawberries (300 g), and sliced bananas (240 g).
Blend on high speed for about 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If you prefer some chunks of fruit in your ice cream, blend for a shorter time, around 1 minute, and reserve some chopped strawberries to mix in later.
Pour and Cover: Once the mixture is smooth, pour it into a glass or metal container. If you reserved some chopped strawberries, fold them into the mixture now. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until the ice cream is firm.
Serve: When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh strawberry slices or banana slices on top.

Variations and Substitutions

I use Greek yogurt, low in fat, and sweetened with Splenda. The rest of the sweetness comes from the bananas. However, you can use any flavor of yogurt you prefer, from lemon pie to a classic strawberry, for added depth of flavor.
This recipe is just as delicious with blueberries or raspberries. Swap out fruit or add it in as you like. You can make this recipe your own.
Although I find the sweetness level from the bananas sufficient, if your strawberries aren’t very sweet, you can consider adding a bit more sweetener. Opt for your preferred 0-point Weight Watchers sweetener, such as Splenda or Stevia.

Tips and Tricks for the Best Ice Cream

Cut the bananas last, right before blending because they tend to oxidize. But when mixed with the acidity of the strawberries, this process is literally stopped.
Blend to your preference; if you want to find chunks of fruit, a minute will suffice.
To facilitate blending, add the yogurt first, followed by the strawberries, so there is enough liquid to blend the bananas.
Freeze it covered with plastic wrap for at least 8 hours. When serving, don’t hesitate to decorate with some mint leaves.

This strawberry banana yogurt ice cream is a fantastic way to keep things light and refreshing in the summer while staying within your points. Give it a try and enjoy a simple yet delightful treat!
