I made this today using strawberries and thus I consequently chose to use lemon juice instead of orange. I used the maple syrup but there is no maple flavour in the finished product, it just provides a little sweetness. The colour was marvellous and it was so easy to do even for me without an ice cream making machine. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a healthy treat on a hot summers day that is totally trouble free to whip up. Five stars plus.

I used fat free yogurt and no sugar added syrup to make this perfect summer treat. I did use the machine. To be honest I love it the most in the soft serve stage when the machine is just finished. I simply love that it isn't sugar and fat laden frozen yogurt but diabetic friendly so that I can enjoy it with no guilt or monitoring my blood sugars for the next 8 hours. Gotta love that as much as the dessert itself. :D

I used frozen blueberries but other than that the list of ingredients was followed! Then I didn't strain the fruit puree because the little flecks of fruit were no bother for either of us! Also didn't use an ice cream maker but just a freezer tray (just like my mom used to do when I was a kid) & the resulting frozen dessert was absolutely delicious! Very much worth making again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday recipe tag]
