Tangy Vanilla Frozen Yogurt
"This yogurt is a salute to Red Mango. It isn't pretending to be ice cream. It tastes like tangy yogurt in frozen form. The result is creamy and completely refreshing without guilt. I opted for 2% to make sure the yogurt had the right consistency and didn't turn icy. I paired it with a slice of grilled pineapple and some homemade granola (Recipe #424610 ) for a healthy sundae."

Oh my GOSH, this is good. I love frozen yogurt, and this is just simple, absolutely pure stuff. I have also made it with an orange zested in and a teaspoon of orange extract, which is fantastic. Thanks so much. -
So simple, and SO amazing. If you want to turn plain yogurt into vanilla yogurt, just follow the instructions but don't freeze. This is addicting!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I’m a twenty something, alright, late twenty something woman living on Long Island and working at a publishing company in the ever stressful NYC. Food makes me happy. What’s not to love about a cheeseburger and fries with a huge chocolate shake on the side? Come on, it’s a match made in heaven that would put a smile on even the grumpiest face. Unfortunately, I’ve been battling a pesky weight problem for what feels like an eternity. To make matters worse, I recently found out I have a blood sugar condition that will likely lead to diabetes. Doesn’t that sound like a recipe for disaster? So, I desperately needed to find a way to still love food, but also squeeze into a pair of skinny jeans. The solution, you ask? That’s a little tricky. I don’t believe in surviving off the frozen food aisle’s never-ending supply of frostbitten chemical concoctions. And the thought of eating a strict lettuce and water diet makes me want to throw myself off a building.
So, what’s a gal to do? I learned to Diet-It-Up. I love to cook and I’m always finding ways to take my favorite recipes and shave off a few calories, eliminate some of the processed ingredients and overhaul it in a way that makes it healthier. I’ve mastered every diet under the sun and while Weight Watchers© and The South Beach Diet© can be very successful, they’re tough to stick with when you just want to eat something that tastes good. I don’t have any fancy formal credentials and I’m not going to preach to you about carbs or fat grams. I just want you to enjoy tasty, delicious meals without the next-day calorie guilt. Mix in a jog or two at the gym and you’re on your way to a healthier life. I’m beginning to collect some of my recipes here. I invite you to Diet-It-Up with me. If we’re good all week, maybe we can even sneak in a few sips of that chocolate shake, wink wink.
