I took a basic icecream recipe and altered it to be diet friendly. The recipe was handwritten on a napkin from the 60's so i have no idea who invented it. lol 
My mother had this old icecream maker from the 70's that hadn't been used in 20 years so I borrowed it to experiment with. I could not get unsweetened creamer, so i had to use the regular stuff. If you can find unsweetened creamer, use that instead as it will drastically reduce the sugars. If you don't like almond milk, you can substitute soy, rice or coconut milk.
What you need:
2.5 cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 cups Vanilla Almond Coffee Creamer
1.25 cups Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
.75 cups Splenda or other Zero Calorie Sweetener
2-3 Tablespoons Arrowroot Flour/Starch
Directions:
Divide the almond milk into 1 cup and set aside .25 cup. Add 2 cups strawberries to the rest of the milk and add the creamer and sweetener. Put mixture into a blender and mix well. Set aside the remaining .5 cup strawberries for later. Next, pour the mixture into a large pot and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat and stir every few minutes. Just before it boils, mix together the remaining milk and arrowroot flour. Add it to the mixture just as it comes to a boil and remove from the heat. It should thicken to heavy cream.
Chill the mixture for several hours or overnight in the fridge. Once very cold, add it to your icecream maker. When the icecream is almost finished, add the remaining strawberries.
Makes approximately 6 servings (around 4 cups or 1 quart)

I'm going to try a few different recipes over the next few weeks. Perhaps one with chocolate or mint...or both;)

While it looks interesting it seems like so much work, and also, is there any reason why you are avoiding fat? I can have a serving of Edy's slow churned ice cream for 100-120 calories a serving, so I'm just wondering.0

Oh, I'm not avoiding fat, I just can't have dairy. Almond milk is my favourite, so I tend to use it for everything. haha0 -
Sounds yummy!! I can't have dairy, and the store bought dairy free ice cream is always so high in calories and sugar!! I make my own yogurt & you just inspired me to give ice cream a try too 0
