Tomato Strawberry Freeze - 15g Carbs, 2g Fiber
[I love this... made it while the garden tomatoes were abundant.
I used Splenda instead of sugar and Almond Milk instead of regular.
This is a very refreshing "Ice Cream" that is soothing for the
craving for a dessert. Take care, Gloria]

5 out of 5 - Very tastey!, June 21, 2008 - By sdterp
"I made this with low-fat rice milk because of a friend's lactose
intolerance (but an added benefit is that it reduced calories, fat
and removed cholesterol). Not a bad recipe at all. I thought, hmmm...
tomato strawberry, huh? Tomatoes don't show up in the flavor but it's
a good way to add to the bulk without adding too many calories. I made
this with strawberries as shown but it's good with mixed berries or blackberries as well (tried all three ways). :)"
