Strawberry Ice

Happy Summer to you all!! I hope you all had a great 4th of July! I sure did. We had a BBQ at home and enjoyed family time.

I thought I would post a simple Summer treat. It is a healthy refreshment for those hot days we have to endure laying out by the pool or sunbathing :)

All you need is a blender, some ice, strawberries and some Stevia.

(Stevia is just an herb that tastes like sugar, but it is good for you! Regular sugar effects your Pancreas, but Stevia just goes through the body like other herbs. Stevia is also a part of the Sunflower family. You can usually find it in your nutrition section in your local grocery store or in Super Supplements.)

I don't have any measurements for this one because it is all up to your own taste buds. The consistency you are looking for is like that of a soft Sorbet. Any strawberries will do. I used the ones I picked from my garden. Fresh vs. frozen strawberries is the better option, but if frozen is all you have, then make it work.

                                                           My Garden Strawberries :)
                                                                  The stems I cut off
                                                                   My stemless strawberries :)
                                                        Strawberries, Ice & Liquid Stevia
                                             This is what it should look like when you are done.

Enjoy!

Until Next Time, 

The Classic Chef
