How to Make 2 Ingredient Strawberry Dessert
Prep the strawberries: Cut the stem and leaves off of the strawberries and halve them.
Blend: Add the strawberries and ice cubes into a blender. Blend.
Adjust: Add more strawberries or ice depending on your preferences. Enjoy!
Hint: Use a powerful blender as some weaker blenders can have trouble breaking up the ice! I like to use this Vitamix blender!

Nutrition
No added sugars - I love this snack/dessert for myself and my kids because it tastes naturally sweet from the strawberries and has no added sugars! We are always looking for ways to cut back on added sugars and my oldest definitely has a sweet tooth.
Vitamin C - Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C and can help boost your immune system.
Antioxidants - Strawberries are also packed with antioxidants which help protect your cells from damage. The redder the strawberry the more antioxidants it contains!

You can store this in the refrigerator for a few days but the ice will melt so it will be less of an icee.
