Ingredients
- 2 cups nonfat Greek yogurt, plain
- 1 cup fresh or mixed berries
- ¼ cup honey or agave syrup, adjusted to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: splash of fresh lemon juice for extra flavor
Instructions
Start by washing and preparing the berries. If using strawberries, remove the stems and slice them into smaller pieces. Fresh berries work beautifully, but frozen berries can also be used. If using frozen berries, allow them to thaw slightly for easier blending.
Add the Greek yogurt, mixed berries, honey, vanilla extract, and optional lemon juice into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and add more honey if you prefer a sweeter dessert.
Once blended, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spoon or spatula and cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze the mixture for about 3–4 hours, stirring once or twice during the freezing process to help keep the texture creamy. If you have an ice cream maker, you can churn the mixture according to the machine instructions for an even softer consistency.
When ready to serve, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh berries, mint leaves, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
