Sneaky Chef Breakfast Ice Creams
Your food processor is the only way to puree the frozen fruit without having to add a lot of liquid ­ and for these small quantities, a three-cup mini food processor works best. These recipes can be quickly converted to a thinner smoothie by adding an extra ˝ cup of milk to all the variations below and then mixing them in the blender.

INGREDIENTS

Really Easy Strawberry Breakfast Ice Cream

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries, without syrup or added sweeteners
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar

 
Extra Sneaky Strawberry Breakfast Ice Cream

  • 1/4 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, without syrup or added sweeteners
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar

 
Banana Breakfast Ice Cream

  • 1 frozen banana, cut in pieces (about 1 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar

 
Chocolate Banana Breakfast Ice Cream

  • 1 frozen banana, cut in pieces (about 1 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
INSTRUCTIONS

1. For each of the above Breakfast Ice Creams, put all ingredients in food processor and puree on high.

2. ­Hold on tight - the first few seconds are a bit rough until the mixture smoothes out.

NUTRITION INFORMATION

Each recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of ice cream.

Note: If you prefer to use sweetened yogurt (the vanilla flavored yogurt works well with all of the above), you probably won’t need the extra sugar or honey.

Given that so many people are lactose intolerant, and dairy isn't exactly a health food, why don't you at least offer an alternative to dairy, such as, unsweetened organic vanilla or plain, almond, rice, multigrain or soy beverage. It would be really easy for you to at least acknowlege that some folks can not tolerate dairy, or simply choose to avoid food that was intended for another being. Another being that grows up to be approximately1000 lbs.

what is the calorie counts on each plus the fat grams. I would love to try but need to factor in those two.
