Ice Cream Treats

Elder berry ice cream

This Avon lady loves ice cream but with health concerns and a strict diet, ice cream just isn't one of the treats I can have, like ever.  Or could it be? Well in a way yes. Traditional ice cream has a lot of sugar and carbs and fat and.. and.. and... you know the story.  Store bought frozen yogurts are no better at all.  So I started playing around to get a treat I can love that will satisfy the ice cream craving without being a total drag to my diet.  Here is an easy one I have been using.

* Note this is not a diet food. It is a recipe that I played with to lower the carbs and fat. I did this with sugar replacements and using fruit as the majority instead of cream.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen berries (about 1 lb. Blue, black or strawberries are good but be adventurous try a mix or Loganberry or as above elder berry)
  • 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of stevia/monk fruit powder (depending on how sweet your berries are, and how sweet you want the result to be use up to a cup)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. vanilla  (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups full fat plain yogurt (full fat yogurt is preferred, if you use low-fat or non-fat yogurt, substitute 1/4 cup of coconut oil for a healthy fat that will smooth out the texture)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
Mix well and chill very well. This is important. The colder the mix is before putting it in machine the quicker and smoother it will freeze. Each machine  is different so use your ice cream maker's directions for churning. Mine takes about 15 min when it has a real good chill before going in.  Serve soft or harden in freezer but note keep in an air tight container or crystals will form. Part of the ice cream experience is the fun. Make eating an alternative a bit more fun to help trick the mind. Fun serving vessels, fresh mint leaf, or harden in ice pop trays to help add the feel of a treat.

Compare ours to theirs

Buy them today! Do you ever go into the big fancy Stores and smell all the perfumes and fragrances and then just about pass out from the prices?  I used to, then I realized I could buy comparable scents at a fraction of the cost from Avon. Then I realized they had others that were far, far better then those on the shelves. This was all about a year or two before I started selling Avon by the way.  Here is a list of fragrances that I put together. I spoke to a few people I know and asked them to tell me what my Avon scents would compare to because I seriously couldn't do this on my own and everyone has a slightly different take so I wanted to have a survey so to say about it.  SO take a look at the list and see if any of them just might be what you are looking for! All of Avon's Fragrances can be found Online . Angel or FlowerBomb to Avon's Passion DKNY’s Be Delicious to Avon's Femme Amarige or Chloe to Avon's  Candid Green Tea to Avon's Haiku Hu
