Summer is the perfect season to indulge in sweet treats, and what better way to enjoy a classic dessert than with a healthier twist? This no-churn strawberry ice cream is not only delicious but also packed with beneficial ingredients, making it a guilt-free indulgence.
This recipe combines the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries with the creamy texture of coconut cream and heavy whipping cream, enhanced by the health benefits of vanilla protein powder and Just Thrive Probiotic & Antioxidant. Let's explore the nutritional benefits of each ingredient and how they come together to create a truly unique dessert.
Fresh Strawberries
Fresh strawberries are the star of this recipe, offering a burst of natural sweetness and vibrant color. They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and K, and dietary fiber, making them a nutritious base for our ice cream. The antioxidants in strawberries help combat oxidative stress, promoting overall health and well-being.
Coconut Cream
Coconut cream provides a luxurious, creamy texture and a subtle tropical flavor. It is an excellent source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are known for their metabolism-boosting properties. Coconut cream also adds healthy fats that support brain health and provide sustained energy.
Heavy Whipping Cream
Heavy whipping cream adds a rich, velvety texture to the ice cream. While it’s higher in saturated fats, it also provides essential vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Using it in moderation ensures that your dessert remains indulgent without compromising on flavor.
Vanilla Protein Powder
Incorporating vanilla protein powder not only boosts the protein content of your ice cream but also enhances its flavor. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, and it helps keep you feeling full and satisfied. Choose a high-quality protein powder that aligns with your dietary preferences, whether it's whey, plant-based, or collagen protein.
Monk Fruit Sweetener
Monk fruit sweetener is a natural, calorie-free sweetener that adds sweetness without the glycemic spike associated with sugar. It’s perfect for those looking to reduce their sugar intake while still enjoying a sweet treat. Monk fruit sweetener is also rich in antioxidants, making it a healthier alternative to traditional sugars.
