Instant strawberry freezie

Keeping a store of berries in the freezer means you can make this an instant treat. Try it with any berries, adjusting the amount of honey or syrup according to how sweet you like it.

INGREDIENTS

200g strawberries, hulled and chopped

1 ripe banana

1/2 tsp lemon juice

2 tbsp low fat yogurt 1/2 - 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

METHOD:

1. Freeze the strawberries overnight then simply add all the ingredients to a blender or use a stick blender to blitz into ice cream.

2. If you don’t have a blender simply mash the fresh unfrozen strawberries with the banana and other ingredients and still freeze until firm enough to scoop.

3. Serve in scoops, in a cone or freeze for later.

Ripe fruit is often sweet already so taste before adding all the honey or maple syrup. This works well with raspberries too.
