Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Dieter Claire invented this recipe by modifying the fruit parfait recipe and adding extra frozen strawberries. She says, “it’s as close to ice cream as you can get.” Great idea, Claire!

Servings: Makes 4, 1/2 cup servings (because of the cottage/ricotta cheese, one serving counts as 2 oz of your protein allotment)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp of Truvia
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • 2 cups of frozen strawberries
  • sprinkle of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice

Instructions:

All you have to do is whiz everything in your food processor or blender until smooth and light.

For this recipe, I recommend using a food processor. If you are using a blender, you’ll want to add up to 1/4 cup of water to get the right consistency.

The texture will be a little different from traditional ice cream (keep that in mind, texture-people), but the it’s got an awesome dreamy flavor!

Serve immediately.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
