Strawberry Yogurt Ice Cream

March 11, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Sunday!  Today’s post is a delicious one.  Something my friend Connie told me I should do, I took her idea and ran with it!  he he It’s so good!  But first, you know what I did on Saturday?  I went to Trader Joe’s!!  It’s been almost two weeks since I shopped and that’s not a good thing.  I was running out of everything!  I’m trying to do better on my food budget, since I spend so much, but because I was out of stuff, I spent almost $150.00, eck!!!  Oh well, it’ all good stuff and stuff that will get me through the week!

Whenever I hit up Trader Joe’s I always try to get at least a few new items, so there are a few hidden in there.  Can you guess what ones?  You catch them on my Trader Joe’s page!   I bet from the picture you can tell some of the recipes I’ll be sharing this week.  I bet you can tell I have been craving fruit.  I don’t know what wrong with me, I just want fruit!  Lots of sweet fruit!

Now for my creamy delicious strawberry yogurt ice cream.


One thing you must know about me, when it comes to food I have no patience!  You should let this ice cream sit out for about 20 – 30 minutes for it to get real creamy and soft, but I couldn’t wait for that, I had to try it.  So if you make this, wait if you can!!

The reason I created this, was I wanted ice cream, I wanted mousse and I didn’t want to go to the store.  So I took 1 strawberry container of Chobani Strawberry Greek Yogurt and 1 container of Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt, mixed it with one tub of fat-free Cool Whip and threw in some diced strawberries, popped it in the freezer and a few hours later I have this!

This ice cream will be perfect for when the summer months come!  It tastes just like strawberry ice cream.  I am so happy with this, that I can’t wait to make another one in a different flavor.  However I don’t know if I can top strawberry.  As you may be able to tell, it’s one of my favorite, if not my favorite fruit!!

You know what else I love about this recipe?  No ice cream maker needed!  I do plan on buying one, I just haven’t had the chance.  I saw a nice one by Cusinart at Bed Bath and Beyond, I’m just waiting for my 20% off coupon that I’ll get in the mail.  Imagine all of my crazy concoctions that I get to eat and share with you!!  Do you see peanut butter ice cream?  Dam it, now I guess that is the next one I’ll make, but this style!  I can’t wait for an ice cream maker to have peanut butter ice cream!!!

Strawberry Yogurt Ice Cream

Ingredients:

  • 1 6oz container Vanilla Greek Yogurt
  • 1 6oz container Strawberry Greek Yogurt
  • 1 8oz container Cool Whip, fat free
  • 2 drops of red food coloring
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, diced

Directions:

  • Line a bread pan with freezer paper. Over lapping the sides.
  • In a bowl add yogurt and cool whip and carefully mix until combined. Add food coloring and lightly fold mixture until pink in color.
  • Carefully fold in strawberries
  • Spoon mixture into bread pan and smooth out the top.
  • Place in the freezer for about 4 hours or over night.
  • Carefully lift the paper, let it rest for about 20 minutes or until soft and slice and serve.
  • Place any left overs back in the freezer and cover with plastic wrap.

Serving Size: 6 slices

Calories per serving:  110,  Fat:  .01,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  45,  Potassium:  21,  Carbs:  19,  Fiber:  .03,  Sugar:  10,  Protein:  5.1

Wasn’t that easy?  Love easy!  Love fast and I love tasty!!  I love my new found love for flavored yogurt!  Certainly beats just eating plain!

I also got my PB2 in the mail and it’s weird.  I am not sure what to do with it.  I haven’t tried it because, well I’m kind of scared to, but I will.  I’m thinking of some recipes that I want to make with it.  Have you ever used PB2?  Will I like it?  After making my own Peanut Butter, not sure if anything will top or match it.  But if I don’t try I’ll never know and it’s only 45 calories for 2 tablespoons, which is pretty nice.

I’m also pleased to announce that this week I finally went over my calorie burned for exercising this week.  I cheated and went on the scale to see if I lost anything, notta!  I have till Monday to lose a pound, if I don’t, than real peanut butter here I come.  This was a very hard strike for me!!!  Thank goodness I got those cookies from Spiffy Cookie on Friday.  It helped with the cravings.  I guess that could be considered a cheat?

My exercises for last week:

Sunday:  40 minutes full body circuit training, 1 mile walk and gardening (I pulled weeds for over an hour.)

Monday:  Just walked 1.23 miles

Tuesday:  walked 1.23 miles, 40 minute upper body circuit training

Wednesday:  walked 1.23 miles, 40 minute Ab Circuit Training

Thursday:  rest

Friday:  walked 1.23 miles, 30 minutes jump roping

Saturday:  30 minute jumping jack circuit training

Wow, I did more than I realized!  My goal was to burn 1700 and I burned 2031!  Woohoo!

Also, as you know I was nominated for Healthiest Eating Food Blog on Fitness Magazine and would love it if you voted for me.  So far I only have 34 votes, :(  if you like my blog, please vote for Peanut Butter and Peppers.  I know I won’t win, but I would feel better if I got more than 34 votes.  To vote for me, just go here. Thank you!!

I also wanted remind you, don’t forget to enter the Peanut Butter Lover’s Giveaway, contest ends today at 12:00pm (PST) just go here.

Have a great Sunday!!!

    I have used the PB2 for a long time. I like it – but my best suggestion is don’t go into expecting peanut butter. The texture is different, but I think it’s a good substitute for people who don’t want the extra stats. You also can control the thickness by the amount of water you add to it when mixing. Use a good water though. If you like your tap great, but I think it an affect the taste.

    Like I said, it’s not peanut butter, so don’t expect it and I think you will be pleased.

        Yes, there are recipes with PB2, I’m trying to remember what I have used it in. But they have some on thier site too http://bellplantation.com/recipes

    Oh man, 30 minutes jumping rope? I used to love that as a kid but now I get tired after 5 minutes! I’m sort of a wimp though. I can’t wait to try this recipe! A friend and I have a date night every Monday and she makes dinner and I bring dessert and this is next on the list! Can’t find 110 calorie ice cream anywhere else

    Hi Jennifer – glad you got the PB2! My new fav is adding a spoonful of PB2 to fat free greek yogurt plus I like a packet of splenda in that. Oh my goodness, yummy! You could be making peanut butter ice-cream dessert too!

    I’ve had my PB2 for a while and I use it when I want a PBJ sandwich now. I’m still not sure how to use it to bake; I hope you’ll post recipes if you do.
    I think it’s a decent substitute but not exactly like regular PB. When I mix it with jelly, though, it doesn’t taste different enough to bug me. Plus, I enjoy the “healthier” side of it and that it’s not full of ingredients I don’t know.

      Great idea mixing it with Jelly! I’ll try it in a recipe and see how it goes. I bet it would be fine if there are add ins. I haven’t tried it yet! The jar is staring at me.

    I am so excited about this recipe. I actually gasped and my wife came running from the kitchen asking me what was wrong.

    Can’t WAIT to make this!

      Lol, I was pretty stoked when I made it! Just be sure to let it sit on your counter for about 20 to 30 minutes so it softens up a little. You won’t be disappointed, it’s so good! Just had some a few minutes ago!!

    You got SO much from TJ’s! Spending $150 is not bad at all, considering it’s been 2 weeks since you last went shopping. I go at least once a week and I spend a minimum of $80! It’s bad but in the end, you’re saving TONS of money by eating in.

    Anyway, let’s talk about this ice cream. I love that you don’t need an ice cream maker for this! I do want to invest in an ice cream maker attachment for the kitchenaid but in the meantime, I will make your version of ice cream 🙂

      I agree with on TJ’s, I do normally eat it all!! How can I not? I am planning on getting an ice cream maker, just haven’t yet. This ice cream is really good. If you make it, just be sure to leave it on the counter for about 20 – 30 minutes so it softens, other wise it’s hard.

      So glad you got your package! Learned my lesson with getting tracking numbers! I have that PB2 sitting here, and I am yet to open it. I know it won’t compare, but I am betting it would be good in baking. I’ll do a post and let you Guys know what I think.

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
