Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then slice them carefully into uniform pieces to ensure even freezing and blending.
- Place the sliced strawberries into a food processor or high-powered blender, ensuring the container is clean and dry.
- Add the plain yogurt to the strawberries, making sure to use low-fat or non-fat yogurt for a healthier diabetic-friendly option.
- Measure and add the sugar substitute, choosing a diabetic-safe sweetener like stevia or monk fruit sweetener for minimal glycemic impact.
- Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice, which will help enhance the strawberry flavor and prevent browning of the fruit.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and completely combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Cover the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place in the freezer for approximately 2-3 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes to maintain a creamy texture.
- Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow slight softening for easier scooping.
- Serve in chilled dessert dishes, optionally garnishing with a few fresh strawberry slices.
