I picked up Clean Eating magazine this weekend , one of my favorite reads to learn about healthy eating and get some ideas for eating healthier. As I was skimming thru all of the mouth watering reciepes I came across a receipe that I thought was worth sharing given blueberry season is approaching and having fresh blueberries to work with is fantastic! Not to mention it was dessert and one you don't have to feel guilty eating!!! lol Having lived in Newfoundland one fond memory was going blueberry picking with my family. My grandmother would pack a little lunch and off we would go with our buckets. I never realized until much later in life how peaceful and enjoyable it was. I think I would eat more berries then I ever picked! The best part was knowing what was going to come from all this effort..my grandmother's homemade blueberry pie or blue berry grunt! I guess that is where my love for blueberry's came from. There were no pesticides, no worry about chemicals just good old fruit fresh from the land..what a priceless gift that should't be taken for granted.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh blueberriers
- 1 1/2 cups of nonfat plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1/4 cup 100% orange juice
- seeds 1 vanilla bean, pod discarded
Prepare:In a food processor, add all the ice cream ingredients. Puree until just combined about 2 minutes, scrape down sides of bowl. Spoon ice cream mixture into a shallow 9x9 inch freezer safe container. Place container in the freezer for 30 minutes or until mixture begins to freeze slightly. Remove from the freezer, scrape the edges with spautula and mix with a whisk, blend the ice crystals until creamy again. Return to freezer for additional 30 minutes, repeat 2x. Return to freezer until hardened approx 2 to 3 hours.
Enjoy!
