Fro Yo.

FroYo aka frozen yogurt, is one of my favorite treats. Growing up, my nanny Louisa, worked at Yogen Fruz, so we would often get spoiled with lots of delicious treats. Ever since I can remember, my go-to flavour has been berry. For the longest time I wouldn't pick the mixed berry option because I hated blueberries. I would order a mix of strawberry, blackberry and raspberry. It would always turn out a beautiful pinky purple colour, which I'm pretty sure makes it taste better. These days, it turns out that I actually love blueberries, so that problem is resolved and I now order mix berry in the interest of brevity.

This week I happened to have a full container of plain yogurt sitting around and tons of berries in my freezer. Jess was coming over for dinner, so I decided to make a batch of FroYo for her... and me... mostly me, actually!

The recipe is as follows - grab a container of yogurt, a whole bunch of berries and blend it all together a little at a time. I added some splenda to sweeten it, as the yogurt I used is really quite sour. Speaking of the yogurt I used, check it out below... it's Halal brand, I bought it on sale! Most of the writing on the package is not English, which was tricky but it was cheap, who was I to argue?

Once you have everything all blended and you've tasted 30 or so spoonfuls (for quality control) put the froyo in an air tight container and hide it in the freezer away from anyone who might be looking for it. Or pour it into a popsicle mold like I did, and enjoy a frozen treat on a stick... becuase everything tastes better on a stick!
