Ingredients

Instructions
1. Prepare ingredients
Make sure the strawberries are frozen solid. This helps create the creamy, ice cream-like texture.
2. Blend
Add frozen strawberries and Greek yogurt to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides once or twice.

Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer texture.
Methods & Tips
- Use high-quality Greek yogurt for a richer texture.
- Frozen fruit replaces ice and gives natural sweetness.
- Blend in short bursts to avoid melting too quickly.
- For extra sweetness, you can add a low-carb sweetener like stevia (optional, not required).
