Easy Peach Frozen Yogurt

I saw this recipe on Pinterest, and it looked super simple and good, so I just had to try it.  Frozen yogurt made from a just a few ingredients in a food processor.  Why not?

So I tried it, but the original recipe was more peach than yogurt.  While it was good, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting - so I tried again.  I think the result is pretty good.


Easy Peach Frozen Yogurt
adapted from Just a Taste

Ingredients:
  • 1 16-oz. bag frozen peaches (or 4 cups fresh peaches, frozen)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 3 T honey
  • 1-1/2 cups plain yogurt
  • 1 T fresh lemon juice
Directions:
  1. Put all ingredients into food processor and process until creamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Serve immediately or transfer to airtight container and store in the freezer.


I also stirred mine every hour or so once I transferred it to the freezer, though I don't know how necessary that was.  In the end, it freezes pretty solid so you'll want to let it sit out for a few minutes before you serve it up.  If you want smooth, creamy frozen yogurt like you'd get at the Frozen Yogurt place, serve it up and let it sit a bit longer, and then stir it to get the creamy consistency you want.  (or start eating it - slowly - and enjoy it both ways)


You get a nice cool treat without a lot of sugar, only healthy ingredients you don't have to feel guilty about.  What could be better?

I'm thinking strawberries would make some good frozen yogurt, too.  What fruit would you use?
