I've been making my own "ice cream" or double thick shake in the Nutri Bullet for quite some time. Strawberry seems to turn out best, but chocolate banana isn't bad. My recipe is a little different.
I put in the frozen fruit first...for strawberry I use about a cup of frozen sliced strawberries. I used to pour in about 1/3 cup of Skinny mix sweetener on top of that, but now I just use sugar or Stevia. Then I add about 2/3 cup of non dairy powdered coffee creamer, which seems to act as a thickening agent, and last but not least fill up to the max line with coconut milk.
I don't have this too often, because I've never figured out the calories, but it is VERY good!
@4meAndyou that powdered coffee creamer makes me itch. I might use almond flour and coconut oil instead of peanut butter, and use strawberries and bananas or cherries and bananas. I would love to make chocolate-raspberry but the acid is too much for my joints.
@cherokeepatti I have tried freezing canned cherries during the pandemic, when I could not go shopping, and they were pretty good. I think fresh pitted frozen bing cherries would be a lot better, though.
@4meAndyou With the increase in prices of groceries this will be our treat. I think they are adding mono sodium glutamate to commercial ice creams….can’t leave them alone after having a bowl. So I haven’t been buying it for a year now.
