Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe – Ray Peat Inspired

Who doesn’t love strawberry ice cream?

I’ve been meaning to try the 4 cups of fruit and 1 tin sweetened condensed milk ice cream idea for a long time. I’m always looking for ways to utilise lots of fruit in yummy dishes for our pro metabolic diet. This is perfect with Summer coming on here in Australia.

I happened to have an unused container of sour cream that was rapidly heading for it’s use by date, so I thought I would use it up at the same time and see what transpired. This is the Strawberry Ice Cream recipe…

Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Strawberry and Mango delight, perfect for summer.
Prep Time10 mins
Total Time10 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Healthy
Keyword: Fruit based, Healthy
Servings: 8

Equipment

  • 1 Food processor
  • 1 sealable plastic container

Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberries (chopped fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups mango (chopped fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 410g tin Skim Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tbs vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Whack all into a food processor or blender.
  • Whizz for a few minutes until well combined.
  • Transfer to a shallow, air tight container and freeze overnight.

It scoops best if you leave it out of the freezer for say 10 minutes before using.

It tasted beautiful in terms of texture and sweetness, but I’m not a fan of the fattiness of the sour cream. When you look at the nutrition stats below, it’s not too bad in terms of overall fat content. But I think I am more attuned to less fat these days and prefer that clean, fresh taste rather than fatty, buttery taste.

When I make it next time, I think I will put either cottage cheese in it like my high protein ice cream or low fat Greek yogurt. At least then it will fit more in our protein & fruit combinations, so we can eat it for breakfast in summer and have all macros balanced.

Here are the nutrition stats for the recipe above:

42g protein

It makes 8 serves with the stats below for each serve…

237 calories

5 g protein

I’m actually surprised that it has that much protein in it at all.

Anyway, at least I had a chance to try it and it was delicious. I will certainly do it again when I finish this batch.

Happy eating and experimenting.

Blueberry Muffin Recipe

In a Ray Peat style diet we’re trying to fit fruit in everywhere, so an easy Blueberry Muffin Recipe is perfect.

I’m loving the ease of frozen blueberries lately. Not to mention they’re $17kg instead of the fresh ones, which are $45kg!

What?!

Until food started to get ridiculously expensive, I didn’t even consider it.

Let’s get cooking, and a little more explanation later.

Easy Coconut Fish Curry

Easy Curry Recipe with Coconut and Fish

Everyone needs an easy curry recipe in their repertoire.

A lovely new follower of my blog and books, found a picture on my Instagram (@slimbirdy) of this Coconut Fish Curry which I haven’t made for years. She was looking for the recipe on my blog but couldn’t find it, because it wasn’t there!

So thanks for your lovely request! I made it again to ensure it works and made a slight change, complete with Ray Peat Inspired twist. So this easy curry recipe is how I would make it now and is still delicious. Enjoy!

High protein rice salad

High Protein Rice Salad

I just wanted to show everyone how I am incorporating more fruit and protein into my meals with this High Protein Rice Salad.

Once you measure out all the components too, it shows how easily the fat portion rises quickly, even when I am really trying to keep all added fat to a minimum. (There’s more than enough in the food itself.)

High Protein Ice Cream

High protein ice-cream for breakfast?

You bet! That’s what I’ll be eating in the heat of summer with loads of fruit.

In our Facebook Private Group, we were discussing making sure we get enough protein to keep the liver functioning properly. One member complained that she struggles to get it all in because she doesn’t always feel like it. So I asked the question:

“If it was ice cream with fruit & chocolate on top would you feel like it then?”

Gluten Free Blueberry

Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins – Ray Peat Inspired

 

Everyone loves fruity muffins, but they’re even better for your health when they are Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins!

I was trying to think of other things to have for breakfast instead of eggs, fruit and Greek yogurt or the 5 other options in my Zen Beach Diet book. All are fabulous choices but sometimes you want something that still fits the Ray Peat Inspired eating model, but is a little different. The fact that it can be eaten with the amazing protein filled cottage cheese and zesty marmalade is just an added bonus.
