It has been so, so hot here this last week. The heat has had us spending lots of time at the beach, in the water, and enjoying frozen treats to cool off whenever we can. As I’ve mentioned many times we have a lot of food sensitivities and allergies so when we want a treat of any kind it’s almost always homemade. That way we know what is in it and that it’s safe for all of us. This Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Recipe is easy to make and delicious! It is an adorable treat served in cups made from fresh lemons and it makes the perfect summer dessert. Don’t worry; this 5 minute healthy strawberry frozen yogurt does not require an ice cream maker machine.
5 Minute Strawberry Frozen Yogurt- Healthy And Delicious
This strawberry frozen yogurt recipe is actually a very healthy dessert or snack choice because it is mostly pureed frozen healthy strawberries. It also has a bit of yogurt for creaminess and a bit of honey for sweetness. The fresh lemon juice goes great with strawberries and the lemon cups are just plain fun!
The strawberry frozen yogurt is ready in just about 5 minutes. However, if you prefer a harder scoop style instead of the soft serve consistency, you can pop it in the freezer for a few hours to get hard scoops.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup low fat Greek vanilla yogurt
- 1 tbsp raw honey (I used a heaping tablespoon)
- 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- fresh lemons for cups
How To Make Homemade Strawberry Frozen Yogurt:
Combine all frozen yogurt ingredients in the pitcher of your blender.
Blend on high until smooth. Evenly pour the mixture into a bowl and place in freezer. You can leave it there while you prepare your lemon cups to serve the soft serve style frozen yogurt in or you can leave it there for 2-3 hours until it is solid enough to scoop, as you prefer.
While the yogurt is in the freezer cut several lemons in half. Use a knife and spoon to remove the fruit from the peel, keeping the peel intact. Trim a small amount of the peel off of the bottom of each “bowl” to create a flat spot that will allow the cup to sit level.
When the frozen yogurt has become firm use an ice cream scoop to fill each lemon cup. Return to freezer until ready to serve the rest. You could garnish with a bit of curled lemon peel or zest.
