EASY Homemade Frozen Yogurt

I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before but I'm sure glad my sister told me about this wonderful easy recipe!

Basically it's yogurt and frozen fruit...that's it!!  I do add a few drops of Stevia to sweeten it a little but the last batch with mangos really didn't need the sweetener.

Easy Frozen Yogurt
1 cup of plain yogurt
1/2 cup of frozen fruit chunks
1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)
4-5 drops of Stevia (optional if the yogurt is too tart)

Blend it all on high until smooth and you have Frozen Yogurt! The frozen fruit does the chilling for you and it's ready to eat or put in the freezer to firm up. Adjust quantities for more people and to taste.

Today I made myself a morning snack using some frozen fruit puree of mango, banana and orange...it didn't make as firm a frozen yogurt as the frozen fruit chunks but it was a cool creamy treat!

Thanks for visiting my blog today! If you are a new visitor you may see I use some pre-packaged foods, many of my recipes can be made completely from fresh ingredients but I'm trying to focus on simple healthy tips for those that work full time and don't have quite as much time in the home.  Thanks for visiting!

Banana Nut Muffin Top Cookies

This is a chocolate chip cookie recipe I tweaked to make it a bit healthier and much more satisfying.  The cookies come out soft and moist like muffin tops and the oats and sunflower seeds make it a yummy satisfying snack.

Banana Nut Muffin Top Cookies

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup organic sugar
• 2 very ripe bananas
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup of rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons hot water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup of sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts (optional)

1.             Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2.             Cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in bananas and eggs one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, oats and sunflower seeds. Drop by large spoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheets.

3.             Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven on top shelf, or until edges are nicely browned. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
