"Frozen Yogurt"
Dear all,
I'll start with one of my favorites- frozen yogurt! You must be thinking, "What!? Frozen yogurt isn't healthy" Well, I'm actually referring to actual yogurt that has been slightly frozen! It is perfect for a warm day. The trick is, however, to put it in the freezer for the apporopiate amount of time because if you put in for too long, it becomes hard and icy. When it has been in the freezer for the perfect amount of time, it is creamy and solid, but not too hard that it is difficult to get your spoon in.
I like using Dannon Light n Fit. (60 cal, 0g fat, 10 g carbs, 7 g sugar, 5g protein) But I have found that some flavors taste a lot better than others and that they also take varying amounts of time. (it also depends on your freezer) I used Dannon because that's always in any store I'm in and is usually on sale. Here's my list in order of my most preferred to least (times done using my mini frdige/freezer): 
Blueberry: My favorite frozen! It also takes the most amount of time- between 1 hour and 30 min and 2 hours
Strawberry- Banana: I love this distinct flavor- it comes out even stronger when frozen. Takes somewhere between 1 hour and 1 and a half hours
Lemon Chiffron: Same amount of time. In fact, I don't like this one as yogurt, I find it too sugary tasting, but as a froyo- it is perfect. This, like the blueberry, freezes with a good consistancy.
Strawberry: This yogurt is alright frozen, but takes much less time, more like an hour.
Raspberry: This is one is ehh. Tastes a little artifical.
Vanilla: I think it tastes awful frozen, but I love it as a yogurt.
(I haven't tried peach, blackberry, orange mango, or strawberry kiwi because I don't like those flavore)
One more tip is that a lot of times the top is a perfect consistance and the bottom is still very creamy, so if that happens, you can eat the top half and then put it back in the freezer til the bottom half is how you like it. This is good if you are near a freezer for a long time, so if you are not, it is just as yummy after only one round in the freezer.
Besides tasting delicious, another perk is that when you put in the freezer, it prevents you from snacking until it is ready. (At least ideally!)
Have fun with this.

I have been doing this for a year! It came to me in a vision...I don't know where I got the idea!
SO amazing :)
