VANILLA FROZEN YOGURT

INGREDIENTS:

 1 1/2 cups strained low-fat plain yogurt

1/4 cup agave nectar

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS:

ONE:  In a mixing bowl, combine strained yogurt, agave, and vanilla.  Stir until well blended, then spoon mixture into a shallow, 9 x 9-inch non-reactive freezer safe container.

TWO:  Transfer container to freezer and chill until mixture is starting to freeze around the edges, about 45 minutes.  Scrape ice crystals from edges with a spatula and mix thoroughly back into your yogurt mixture.  Continue to blend until creamy again, about two minutes. Return container to freezer and repeat this process two more times, for a total of three times.  Each time the mixture will get thicker and a little harder to blend.  After the third mixing, return container to freezer until ready to eat.  For best results, store tightly sealed in freezer and use within two to three days.
