Frozen Fruit Smoothie (Like an Ice Cream)

[Larrythe1st]

Hi, 

 

I have an ice cream maker at home, and I want to try blitzing fruit and putting through the ice cream maker to make a nice desert.

 

Now problem is we aren't supposed to recreate our favorite desserts are we??

 

Although this is just frozen fruit....  I am sure frozen sugar free fruit smoothie is not off limits, so would this be?

 

Basically is this pushing the rules too much???

Yep, this is off limits - no using compliant foods to recreate old foods, and no desserts - Whole30 is not just about eating compliant foods for 30 days, but also about changing our relationship with food, & developing better habits...

For the record frozen sugar free fruit smoothies are also off limits - sugar free tends to mean some kind of sweetener has been added - sweeteners of any kind are uncompliant.

Those smoothies and fake ice cream just keep the Sugar Dragon alive and well. Eat a piece of fresh fruit if you feel you need dessert but it needs to be a part of a meal, not a snack.

Smoothies of any kind are strongly discouraged. The trouble is you don't want to drink your food, you need to chew it. Also, too much sweetness (even if it's just fruit).
