5 Minute Frozen Yogurt With Fruit Variations
"I haven't made this yet. This is one of those I found at another web site. It sounds so easy and yummy. I decided to post it because it was cluttering up my kitchen counter and I thought it had a better chance of being made if it were posted."

This was a super fast and yummy treat. I don't like super sweet foods, and this was perfect. I made it with frozen loganberries, which gave it a tangy zip. Our dinner guest raved and my little sister loved the hot pink color! -
Oh WOW! We loved this! A few weeks ago we went blueberry picking and got 20 lbs of blueberries. I approximated the amount of blueberries needed for this by just pouring what looked "right" in the bowl. I let it sit out while we were eating dinner. Then I made as written, using a little less lemon juice and fat free plain organic yogurt. This had fabulous taste, was super easy to make, and I'm happy with the nutritionals. Mine was a bit thin and could have benefited from sitting in the freezer a bit if we wanted it to harden, but the taste was good we didn't care! -
I just made this with frozen peaches, 5 oz. of Greek-style plain nonfat yogurt, and 1/3 cup superfine sugar ... I guess that's a bit of a tweak, isn't it? But it tastes so good that I'm not sure I'm going to run it through the ice cream maker! It's not too sweet, and really peachy ... this is a great recipe. Thanks!

I made this from memory last night and it was excellent. I used strawberries and fat-free vanilla yogurt. I forgot the lemon juice and only used about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar. It was excellent. DH and I loved this. I will definately make it again with other fruits and differnt yogurt flavors. Thanks for this easy low cal low fat recipe.

MMMmmmMMMM. Yummy, easy and what a treat! What more could we want? I subbed in triple berry blend for the frozen fruit, vanilla extract for the almond extract and Splenda for the confectioner's sugar. Absolutely yummy! Thanks for posting! Made for I Recommend Tag Game. -
I'm not sure whether I did anything wrong here but my mixture turned out like a smoothie not like frozen yoghurt at all, to combat my problem I simply froze the mixture for an hour or so until I got the desired consistency. I did cut this down to serve 2 so maybe the recipe is best made as a full batch?? Anyway I strayed a little from the recipe, used frozen cherries, vanilla low-fat yoghurt and coconut essence in place of almond with a little sprinkle of sugar. The taste was divine so I will be trying this again soon but this time will do a full batch to see how my results differ. Thanks for posting!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
