“I need an easy, delicious, healthy & quick recipe.” Sound familiar? Smoothie cups to the rescue!
The Greek yogurt in the fridge was needing to be used and my freezer contained no healthy snacks. I decided to combine my Creamy Fruit & Yogurt Bowl recipe with a smoothie to create a frozen yogurt dessert. It turned out delicious!
Organic Greek Yogurt can be a healthy addition to your diet if you can handle dairy. Please choose organic & milk from grass fed cows. I also recommend the unsweetened kind. Sweetened yogurt usually has WAY too much sugar in it. Buy the plain and add your own sweetener if needed.
You can tweak this recipe to your own liking or use whatever you have on hand. I used pineapple juice to lightly sweeten this version. Other alternatives could include a banana, different seeds, a sweetener, leave some chunks of berries in there or even add some greens! In the recipe below, I did not show measurements of each ingredient as it depends on how much yogurt you start with on what you will need. Guess you will use some good ole finger lickin’ testing! 🙂
After blending everything up and putting it in the cups (which took 15 minutes) I put them in the freezer. A couple days later, these worked fantastic for a quick snack on the road. Set them out for awhile to lightly thaw before eating or they will be quite hard!
4 ounce plastic cups with lids are perfect for this recipe. I found mine here.
