     Don’t you love when you feel like you are getting something for nothing!?  Such is the case with my Very Berry Ice Cream!  I love that I never feel deprived, and it’s because Mother Nature gives me all I need now!  For example, with summer fun right around the corner, I whipped up this easy Ice Cream, (or keep it refrigerated for a lovely Berry Yogurt, I might like it even better this way…don’t tell my grandkids).  This is such a simple dessert that you can easily get the kiddos involved in the making, and they are so much more likely to eat better if you get them involved in the process.  Super fast guilt free, give this one a try!😋

Ingredients for four servings~

16oz container of Cottage Cheese

1-2 cups mixed Berries according to taste (sub with preferred fruit)

Nuts for garnish, as desired

     Add Cottage Cheese and Berries to heavy duty blender and whip til smooth, pour equally into four single serving containers. (I like the single serving better than one big dish because it is so much easier to defrost) Top with nuts, or any extra fruit.  Freeze for approximately 4 hours or til set, or leave refrigerated for a Yogurt feel.  When ready defrost for approximately 30 minutes before consuming, or use the microwave if necessary. Enjoy ☺️
