I have thought about just putting frozen strawberries and ice in a blender but wonder what that would make with no liquid in there. Would it just be like a healthy icy?? Anyone tried it liked it??

    If the strawberries are frozen you won't need ice too. It might be a little hard to blend with no liquid (depending on the strength of your blender), so I'd recommend a food processor if you have one. If not, you might want to add a little liquid just to allow it to blend. I've done it with almond milk or juice and it makes a really nice slushy treat.

    I've never tried that.

    Yesterday I tried peaches, ice, with a 1/4 cup 2% milk... blehh.. NO GOOD!

    I've also done frozen strawberries and blueberries with a serving of fat free vanilla yogurt, and THAT is super yummy!!

    Let me know how it turns out!!

    I believe if you just blend strawberries, and do it long enough, it will become sorbet. By adding ice it will probably end up like a watered down sno-cone. I'd either vote for just blending the berries, or adding something else to the ice/berry mixture like some juice or yogurt to make it a smoothie.

    to do it like a sorbet try mixing in a little vanilla extract and cinnamon. Just a little water to help blend.
    This with just about any fruit i have tried has worked out delicious. And those two ingredients don't add any calories.

    I like blending fruit with a bit of OJ or pineapple juice. If they're frozen, you don't need ice. If they're not, throw some ice cubes in. My blender won't blend the ice without some liquid.

    Ice waters everything down...so basically it would be strawberry flavoured slush.

    I blend frozen strawberries or mixed berries with skim milk. If it's not sweet enough, I add vanilla sugar free coffee flavoring. Tastes like strawberry ice cream!
