Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and hull the fresh strawberries thoroughly to remove any stems and dirt, ensuring they are clean and ready for blending.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the strawberries, plain yogurt, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together carefully for an even mixture.
- Blend: Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, making sure there are no large strawberry chunks left.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a suitable container, then place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until fully firm and frozen.
- Serve: Remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop and serve.
Notes
- For a healthier option, reduce the sugar or substitute with natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup.
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker and more protein-rich frozen yogurt.
- The resting time before serving helps achieve the perfect texture that is creamy but still firm.
- Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor, but frozen strawberries can be used when fresh are unavailable.
- Make sure to blend thoroughly for a smooth consistency without chunks.
