Trying to Cut Back on Sugar? For Ice Cream Cravings, Make This 4-Ingredient Nice Cream

There's an ice cream shop down the street that offers dairy-free creemees (lucky, I know!), and I recently took my kids there for a summer treat. They both got raspberry and although I try not to eat sugar because it bothers my stomach and makes me break out, when your seven-year-old holds up their cone with a huge smile and offers to share, you take a lick! It immediately kicked in my ice cream cravings, so when we got home, I pulled out my Vitamix and whipped up this plant-based, sugar-free berry banana ice cream.

You only need four ingredients: frozen banana, frozen strawberries, and frozen raspberries, and a little unsweetened vanilla soy milk and this tasted so much like my kids' creemees, but I actually liked it more because it wasn't sickeningly sweet. Even my kids loved it and wanted their own bowls!

I topped mine with fresh fruit, but you could also add frozen fruit, nuts, shredded coconut, granola, or chocolate chips. It satisfied my sugar cravings, I felt energized and not at all bloated, even after a huge bowl, and love that a serving offers over seven grams of fiber and five grams of protein.

This superquick ice cream tastes best right after it's made, but you can also freeze extras for later - just leave it out to thaw for 30 minutes to get that soft consistency.
