Strawberry-Almond Icee

I tried Katie’s recipe from http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/06/15/voluminous-vanilla-ice-cream/ but it didn’t come out as great as hers! Probably because I don’t know how to use my roommates Vitamix very well…not everything blends. This is why I called my creation an “Icee” instead of “ice cream.” It tastes more like a healthy slushy.

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
dash of salt
1 packet of sweetener
1/2 cup of strawberries

Directions

Mix almond milk, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener together.
Freeze in ice cube trays.
Let the cubes thaw until they can be easily removed.
Blend in food processor or blender with strawberries.

Notes: Too cold for fall or winter nights, but I have been obsessed with almond milk lately and love Katie’s blog! Hope it turns out better for you all!
