I love frozen yogurt. The ones commercially available are loaded with sugar, additives and flavourings. What if you can make it yourself easily at home?


Q:Why makes this version much lower in calories?


A: We are not using any sugars and no fillers whatsoever. 


Perfect if you have a sweet tooth and you're trying to cut down on sugar and sweets to meet your fitness goals. Also the yogurt is well known according to research to help shed belly fat. 


It's very simple and quick to prepare. Let's go!


 Ingredients                                                                            

• 300 grams of fat-free Lebanese yogurt (Plain Laban)
• 4 heaping tbsp of splenda granulated sweetener - 10 grams (can use more/less depending on your palate)
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 100 grams of strawberries cut into pieces (optional)
• 10 hazelnuts (optional)
• 1 tbsp of raisins or goji berries (optional)

 Directions                                                                              

1. Spoon the laban into a bowl 
2. Place in the freezer. Then every 15 minutes take out and mix with a spoon. We will repeat this process 4 to 5 times over the course of of 1:15-1:30 hours in order to keep the mixture in a creamy frozen consistency. We don't want ice to form. 
3. Once frozen, remove from the freezer and mix sweetener and vanilla extract in with a spoon.
4. Top with sliced strawberries, hazelnuts and berries (optional)
5. ¡Buen Provecho! Enjoy!

Note:

The Laban commercially available in Lebanon contains a lot of water, so don't expect the frozen yogurt to turn out like absolute cream. However, a hack would be to blend the mixture with a frozen banana towards the end, and that should make it creamier if you prefer. Also, if there are any ice lumps, use a hand-held mixer to make the frozen yogurt somewhat creamier.
