Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 4 cups frozen sliced strawberries, or any other frozen fruit you prefer
  • 2 teaspoons orange flavoring or vanilla essence
  • 2 cups frozen sliced banana
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Before you get started, lay out all your ingredients. This way, you’ll create a smooth workflow and your kitchen won’t look like a tornado hit after.
Step 2: Blend the Base
  1. Grab a blender, and toss in the Greek yogurt, frozen strawberries, frozen bananas, and honey. Add in the orange flavoring, corn syrup, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
  1. Start the blender on low and gradually increase to high. Blend until everything forms a creamy, smooth mixture. You can stop a few times to scrape down the sides with a spatula, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
  1. Take a quick taste. Need a bit more sweetness? Add honey or granulated sugar to your liking. Love that fruity zing? A dash more lemon juice can do wonders. Blend again to mix.
Step 5: Freeze the Mixture
  1. Transfer your yogurt mix into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula to level it out.
Step 6: Freeze Until Set
  1. Cover the container and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid.

Notes

  • Adjust Sweetness: Everyone's sweet tooth is different. Always taste as you go, especially when adding sugars or honey.
  • Fruit Selection: Don’t limit yourself. Use whatever frozen fruits you have available. Each will give a different flavor profile.
  • Let It Soften: Before serving, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for a few minutes. It makes scooping easier.
  • Texture Tips: If you want a softer texture, skip the corn syrup. It gives a slight creaminess, but it’s not crucial.
  • Storage: Keep the yogurt completely airtight in the freezer for optimal freshness.
