Ingredient Health Breakdown

Louisiana Strawberries

These are the STAR of the show — and honestly, nothing beats local.

• Lower glycemic fruit (better blood sugar control)
• Loaded with polyphenols (anti-inflammatory)
• Supports heart health
• Naturally boosts sweetness

Blood sugar tip: Strawberries paired with protein = slower glucose rise.

Fairlife Milk

This is one of my go-to dietitian swaps.

• Ultra-filtered = higher protein, lower sugar

• Supports muscle retention (especially over 40)
• Keeps you full longer
• Creamier texture with less fat

Stevia

We keep it light and adjustable.

• No glycemic impact
• Helps reduce sugar cravings
• Easy to customize sweetness
• Works beautifully in frozen desserts

2. Blend until smooth and creamy
3. Pour mixture into Ninja Creami container

Blood Sugar Education Corner (My Favorite Part!)

Let’s talk about real life — because this is where the magic happens! I discuss this with all my clients – we look for low glycemic foods for that fiber + protein combination!

Glycemic Load Matters

• Strawberries alone = low GI
• Blended with protein = even better

Protein Pairing = Game Changer

• Fairlife milk slows digestion
• Prevents spikes + crashes

Fiber Strategy

• Keep strawberries whole when blending
• Add chia seeds if you want extra fiber boost

What to Serve With Healthy Strawberry Ice Cream

Make it a full treat moment:

• Low carb granola (Catalina Crunch)
• Crushed nuts (pecans, almonds)
• Sugar-free whipped cream
• Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)

Storage + Make Ahead

• Store in freezer (in Ninja container)
• Best within 3–5 days
• Re-spin before serving for best texture
• Add splash of milk if too firm

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not freezing long enough
• Too much liquid (causes iciness)
