Blueberry Frozen Yogurt in Minutes

I am super excited about this one. I made frozen yogurt in my office at work. No ice cream maker. No cooking required. It literally only takes a minute to make! Plus, it's fat free. You can make this at your desk. And only 2-3 ingredients are required. 


1 (6 oz) container nonfat plain Greek yogurt
3/4 - 1 cup blueberries (frozen)
1 tbsp honey

The most important thing is to have nicely frozen blueberries. The cold from the berries in direct contact with the yogurt is what causes the yogurt to freeze & have that nice ice cream-y texture.

Start by folding the honey into the yogurt. Don't stir. Stirring will make it too thin & runny.
Next add your frozen berries direct from the freezer. The berries will begin to clump together. That just means it's working.
Finally cover with plastic wrap & place in the freezer for five minutes (if needed - it will depend on how cold the berries are).

Scoop out & enjoy. :-) This recipe serves 2 at 120 calories a serving approximately.  You may need to adjust the amount of honey depending on personal taste.

This recipe has a strong yogurt flavor that is softened by the sweetness of the honey. The berries have a soft texture that comes from the partially frozen juicy inside. It's not so cold however that it hurts sensitive teeth. It's a very filling dessert (from the protein in the yogurt & fiber in the berries).

This is a great way to enjoy healthy & convenient frozen yogurt. Or just use it to impress your co-workers by making frozen yogurt at your desk. Either way this is a new favorite for me.
