Strawberry Kefir Ice Cream

This "ice cream" is a favourite for me and little M. Now, Mr. J likes it, but we love it! We make it ALL the time!! We like it at breakfast, after school, or for dessert.

It's sweet and tangy and fruity... and it's full of nutritious goodness.

I use organic strawberries because conventional strawberries are heavily sprayed and have been shown to contain up to 36 different pesticides including methyl bromide. They are always featured at the top end of the dirty dozen list of the most toxic non-organic food.


Recipe

3/4 cup kefir
1 cup frozen organic strawberries
1 tbs raw honey
6 ice cubes

Any frozen berries work well, we also like blackberries and raspberries.

Method


Drop all ingredients into Vitamix.


 Move speed quickly from 1 to 10. Use the tamper to push ice and berries down until all mixed (about 30 secs). Flip switch to high and run about 30 secs more, until 4 peaks form.


Scoop out with ice cream scoop.

Note: If using a regular blender, you can make the recipe with unfrozen strawberries and once blended put into an ice cream maker until set.
