🍓 Weight Watchers 0-Point Strawberry “Ice Cream”

Ingredients (6–8 servings)

  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries

  • 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (only if needed)

Optional add-ins (still 0 points on most plans):

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Extra frozen fruit (blueberries, raspberries)

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for chocolate version)

WW Points: 0 points on plans where fruit is zero. Always verify in your current WW app since plans can change.


Instructions

Step 1: Freeze the Bananas

  1. Peel and slice bananas.

  2. Place slices on a parchment-lined tray in a single layer.

  3. Freeze at least 3 hours or overnight.

Step 2: Blend

  1. Add frozen bananas and frozen strawberries to a food processor.

  2. Blend until crumbly.

  3. Keep processing — it will gradually turn smooth and creamy.

  4. If needed, add 1 tablespoon almond milk at a time to help it blend.

(Do not add too much liquid or it will become a smoothie.)

Step 3: Serve or Freeze

  • For soft-serve texture: Eat immediately.

  • For scoopable ice cream texture (like your photo):

    • Spread into a loaf pan.

    • Freeze 30–60 minutes.

    • Let sit 5–10 minutes before scooping if frozen longer.

Q & A

❓ Why is it 0 points?

On most WW plans, fruit is zero points when eaten whole or blended without added sugar. This recipe contains only fruit (and optional unsweetened almond milk in small amounts).


❓ Can I make this without bananas?

Yes, but texture changes. Bananas create the creamy base.
Without banana, try:

  • 2 cups frozen mango + 1 cup frozen strawberries
    It will be more sorbet-like than creamy.


❓ Why is my mixture crumbly and not smooth?

That’s normal at first. Keep blending. It goes through stages:

  1. Crumbly

  2. Thick and sticky

  3. Smooth and creamy

Be patient and scrape down sides as needed.


❓ Can I use a blender instead of a food processor?

Yes, but:

  • Use a high-powered blender.

  • Let fruit soften 3–5 minutes before blending.

  • You may need slightly more almond milk.

A food processor gives the best texture.


❓ How long does it last in the freezer?

Up to 1 week in an airtight container.
It will freeze solid — let it thaw 5–15 minutes before scooping.


❓ Can I add protein?

Yes, but it will likely add points.
Options:

  • ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt (adds creaminess + protein)

  • 1 scoop protein powder

Check points in the WW app if adding these.


❓ Can I make this dairy-free?

It already is! Just use unsweetened almond milk if needed.


❓ Why does it taste sweeter sometimes?

Very ripe bananas (brown spots) are naturally sweeter and give the best “ice cream” flavor.
