Here’s a natural & delicious way to replace your sugar laden, lactose-dense, and-who-knows-what-else-is-in-there, ice cream treats. This recipe can be considered as a nutritious meal, rather than as a dubious snack! It will leave you feeling wonderful. In Nova Scotia, at least, the ingredients are relatively local, too.
Plain yogourt leaves much up to improvisation, where a pre- flavoured variety so much does not. It is usually free of what are now to be considered dangerous sweeteners and other questionable fillers. It may be a bit of an acquired taste, but possibly after a few bites, you might realise how happy you are to experience the taste of yogourt without it being masked by added sugar.
Take 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, and 1/8 to 1/4 of a cup of frozen cranberries. Pour them in a bowl, perhaps neatly arranged.
Cover with either 1 cup, or a reasonable amount, of plain yogourt. This way, you can eat your dish as if you’re digging for gold; frozen berries that taste like gold, that is.
Optionally, for additional nutrition, top with a tablespoon of hempseed; or to add an amazing sweetness & flavour, drizzle with a warmed teaspoon of your favourite grade of maple syrup. For non-fuss warming, including microwave overheating avoidance, try a shot glass in a bowl of water from the kettle. Or do both! Or use this as a guideline for coming up with your own crafty combination of iced berry yogourt.
And that’s it. Remarkably simple, but the textures & flavours (and varying temperatures) of this culinary surprise are anything but. Of course, your mileage will vary according to the quality of your ingredients.
I would post a picture, but I ate it all, already! Nutritional information to follow soon.
