This my friends is Greek Yogurt. It's been a long time coming to Canada but try it once and you'll be hooked! Greek yogurt is similar in texture to sour cream but even thicker, making it perfect for a tzatziki recipe like this . It also bakes incredibly well making a great substitute again for recipes that call for sour cream. Try this one and feel free to sub in the fat free yogurt! We go through tons of the yogurt simply by adding it into homemade dips for veggies. And it doesn't get any easier than homemade vanilla frozen yogurt. Here's my very basic recipe...
2 cups of greek nonfat plain yogurt
sugar or substitute to desired sweetness (I used 1/2 cup of agave nectar)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
If you have an ice cream maker use it, but I just mixed well and popped it in the freezer. Take it out every hour or so to give it a stir. It will take about 4 hours to completely set. Also note, if you use sugar, you'll want to let it sit in the fridge for about an hour to allow the sugar to dissolve.Grab a spoon, eat and enjoy this low calorie, high protein treat!
So there you have it, pick some up locally at Save-On Foods in Chilliwack but If you have a Costco membership they have it there too!
See you soon,
Sarah
Well, as one of "the seven" I appreciate your encouragement. We got an ice cream maker for christmas and I was so excited to make coconut milk ice cream (dairy free for us!) but we just learned how completely unhealthy coconut is for our bodies... off to find a better dairy free ice cream recipe! If only we could try this one!
