Whether you are monitoring your diet or simply looking for a lighter alternative to traditional ice, the Creami allows you to concoct refreshing and healthy desserts based on natural ingredients. So how to make light and tasty ice creams without depriving yourself? Am the guide!
1. Choose a light and healthy base
The key for low calories ice cream is to choose a light base . With the Ninja Creami , you can replace creams rich in fat by lighter options, without sacrificing texture or taste. The important thing is to find a good balance between creamy and lightness.
Light base ideal for low -calorie ice cream:
- Greek yogurt 0 % : Greek yogurt without fat is an excellent option to bring creamy while keeping a low calorie base. In addition, it is rich in protein, making it a satisfying option.
- Unwelling almond milk : if you are looking for an even lighter base, almond milk is perfect. It brings a soft and light touch to your ice without adding sugar or fat.
- Light coconut milk : For a little more texture while remaining light, coconut milk in light version works very well for tropical and creamy ice creams.
Personal tip: if you want a super light ice, opt for a mixture of Greek yogurt 0 % and almond milk. You will get a creamy texture without weighing down the recipe.
2. Use fruit to sweeten naturally
To keep your ice light, it is better to avoid added sugars. With the Ninja Creami , you can easily sweeten your ice cream using ripe fruit . The fruits bring not only sweetness, but also fibers, vitamins and minerals, which makes them perfect for healthy ice.
Fruits to favor to sweeten naturally:
- Banana : Banana is the king fruit to bring sweetness and creamy texture to your ice. Choose a ripe banana, it is naturally sweet and allows you not to add additional sugar.
- Mango : very soft, the mango gives an exotic flavor while being rich in vitamins. Perfect for light tropical ice cream.
- Red fruits : strawberries, raspberries, blueberries ... These fruits are not very caloric but rich in antioxidants and flavors. They bring an tangy touch that balances the softness of the base.
Practical tip: if you want to reduce calories even more, don't hesitate to add a little lemon juice to raise the fruit flavor and bring a refreshing side to your ice cream.
3. Opt for low calorie natural suits
If you want a little more sweetness without adding too much calories, you can turn to natural and weak suits in calories. These alternatives with refined sugar allow you to slightly sweeten your ice while keeping a low calorie profile.
Natural suits to favor:
- Agave syrup : it has a sweetening power superior to white sugar while being less caloric. A few spoons are enough to bring the necessary sweetness without exaggerating on the calories.
- Stevia : This natural sweetener is almost calories without calories. It goes well with the fruits and allows you to soften your ice without adding sugar.
- Erythritol : Another natural sweetener which is a good alternative if you want to keep the number of calories as low as possible. It has no impact on blood sugar and is perfect for light ice.
My tip: I prefer to use a small amount of agave or honey syrup to keep a natural taste. If you want an even lighter ice cream, the Stevia is a great option, but be careful not to put too much because it can have a little too pronounced taste.
4. Add texture with little calorie ingredients
Even in a low calorie ice cream, we like to have a little texture and crunch. The Ninja Creami allows you to add ingredients like fresh fruit, seeds or pieces of nuts, while keeping your light and tasty ice.
Ideas for little calorie ingredients to add texture:
- Fruits in pieces : add a few pieces of fresh fruit such as strawberries or mangoes for a little crunch and freshness.
- Chia seeds : Chia seeds are rich in fiber and not very calorie. They add texture to your ice while boosting satiety.
- Typeted almonds : a little crunch without too many calories. The tapered almonds bring a gourmet side while remaining reasonable on the caloric plane.
Bonus tip: to keep your ice cream really light, limit the ingredients added in terms of quantity. A small handful of seeds or pieces of fruit is enough to add texture without weighing down the recipe.
5. Use spices to boost flavors without calories
A simple and effective way to give ice cream without adding calories is to use spices or natural extracts. They allow you to flavor your desserts without touching the scale of the calories.
Spices and aromas to try:
- Cinnamon : a great classic that brings a sweet and comforting flavor.
- Vanilla extract : a few drops of vanilla extract is enough to transform any ice into a delicious dessert.
- Unsated cocoa powder : if you want a chocolate touch without adding calories, the cocoa powder is perfect for that. It brings a richness in taste while remaining light.
My advice: vanilla extract and cinnamon are my favorites for light and gourmet ice cream. They give a lot of flavor without any impact on calories, and it changes everything for simple recipes.
