HomeMade IceCream...the healthy fun way!!!

So I read this on Jamie Eason's fan page and had to share it because I tried it the other nite and it was delish.

You need one large ziplock bag(or a few...depending on how many people/kids you want to occupy)
and more small ziplock bags.
Ice

Table salt

I used Liberty Fat free Greek Yogurt....fresh strawberries..agave syrup....and vanilla.
I made my own chocolate almond mylk and tried it too.

So you put your yogurt/mylk/soy into the small plastic bag and seal well. Fill the large ziplock bag with ice and add 1/2 cup of salt. Place the small bag into the big one and shake around until the small bag mixture starts to harden.
My kids thought this was so cool that they could make their own icecream at home.

Be creative...but keep it healthy!!! I used greek yogurt because it is fat free(watch out because some have 11% M.F.) has no sugar in it, has bacterial cultures(yogurt with sugar in it kills the bacterial cultures...activia being a good example of a bad yogurt) no thickeners(carageenan/gelatin etc) and is FULL of PROTEIN!! Plus it still has such a creamy rich texture that you can't tell it is fat free!
Watch for yogurt with artificial sweetener as well.....they make you hold water in your gut....as well as a myriad of other nasty things to your body.
Buy your own plain yogurt and add stuff to it. It is cheaper in the long run too.

If you want to try making your own almond mylk.....

take one cup of organic raw almonds and soak them in water overnite. If they still have skins....pop them out before you put them in your blender. Add about 1 cup of water and blend...it will be a thick mixture when done. Add 2-3 medjool dates and blend again. I add a bit of vanilla and sometimes cinnamon. Blend and add more water until you have your desired consistency. If the kids want chocolate milk I just add cocoa to the mixture.

It will last in the fridge for 3-4 days. Super yummy on Kashi Go Lean cereal and awesome on oatmeal!!!
