Summer time is here and it is HOT!  Looking for something to help cool you down?  Try this quick and easy low carb ice cream; it should be avoided during your induction phase but is great for OWL and maintenance.

  • 1 cup frozen fruit
    • if you have fresh fruit, even better, just freeze it the day before
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp lemon or lime juice
  • 4 tsp sweetener (optional based on the sweetness of your berries) can use Splenda/Truvia packets, adjust amount accordingly

The directions to make this are kind of tricky so you might want to print this out; ready?  Put all of these ingredients in a food processor or blender, close the lid, and turn it on... that's it!  Within a few seconds you will have an wonderful ice cream/frozen yogurt type dessert that is to die for.  You can even throw in a few whole or half berries to give it a little more body.

The flavor possibilities are endless.  Try strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or a mixture of fruits.  It is important for them to be frozen because the temperature of the berries brings down the temperature of the milk/heavy whipping cream to the point of freezing.  It makes a wonderfully smooth, creamy dessert in minutes.
