Homemade Frozen Yogurt

Ingredients:

• 1 cup low-fat yogurt (we use a plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt)
• 3/4 cup sugar (Stevia is also an option)
• 3/4 cup 1% milk (I usually use 2%)

Optional: 1-2 cups frozen chopped strawberries, peaches, or other favorite fruit.  Peanut butter or crushed chocolate cookie crumbs are other options.

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients. Pour into ice cream maker bowl; allow to mix/stir for 20-25 minutes or until the ice cream reaches a soft freeze texture. Enjoy immediately or store in freezer until ready to use.
