Equipment

1 Vitamix Blender or similar high-powered blender

Ingredients

1 cup Fairlife whole milk *I use Fairlife whole milk for an added protein boost, regular whole milk works here too.
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup non-fat dry milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large strawberries stems removed, sliced
3/4 cup freeze dried strawberries I use the Trader Joe's brand. They add rich strawberry flavor without watering down the ice cream
4 cups ice cubes *you can freeze whole milk in ice cube trays and use milk cubes or 1/2 milk cubes/half ice here

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
Select Variable 1, then quickly increase the speed to Variable 10, then high.
Use the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades. In 30-60 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and 4 mounds will form.
Immediately stop the machine and pour into serving dishes.

Notes

*You can pour the ice cream into a loaf pan, press wax paper into the top to remove any air pockets and freeze for several hours for a scoopable texture. However, for the best taste and texture serve immediately when prepared.

*See post for Ninja Creami option.
