So I think I have discovered a secret for getting through the side effects of the Tecfidera, especially at night when the side effects seem to be worse. Since I am also diabetic, I can't eat traditional ice cream, or else that's probably what I would try instead...who wouldn't? But since there is not much to be said for the sugar free ice creams on the market, I tried this instead.
A couple of years ago, while visiting with a friend of mine, her husband brought me a mug with some Greek yogurt in it asking if I wanted some. It was vanilla flavored, and they were adding cherries and strawberries. Simple, and delicious! Since then I have altered their recipe, so to speak, and this is what I have come up with! I think it's to die for, and, if my husband knows I have some, he comes snooping around in order to sneak some of mine! Sometimes I will take pity on him and make extra so I can share.
I make this one serving/batch at a time...I don't measure, just eyeball it, so these are approximate measurements. Figure out what works for you! Also, I have tried to substitute regular yogurt for the Greek and it just doesn't work or taste the same.
3/4 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/8 -1/4 cup sugar free Cool Whip thawed
2 packets of Splenda (can adjust to taste for more or less)
1 tsp vanilla
Stir the above together until creamy and smooth.
Add frozen fruit of your taste about 1 1/2 cups total. I use:
2-3 Tbs frozen pomegranate seeds
4-5 frozen, pitted Bing cherries
3/4 - 1 cup no sugar added frozen triple berry mix (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) from Sam's Club.
Mix together immediately, but then let set for a few minutes. Re-stir, and enjoy!
Be well my friends.
