We love yogurt and are going to list some of the best and healthiest frozen yogurt recipes you can make at home.
Here are some quick and easy recipes for making your very own homemade frozen yogurt. All recipes can be made completely non-fat just by substituting non-fat milk and non-fat yogurt in place of whole milk and yogurt. Our recommendation is to invest in a high quality ice cream maker to freeze your new mixes, as yogurts require a longer freezing time than the typical ice cream.
Let’s get down to business with some of the most popular flavors and really some of the best tasting frozen yogurt recipes we’ve come across. Simple and easy is our motto. We aim to please; our yogurt lovers that is. Three of the most popular recipes are as follows: Vanilla, Chocolate, and Raspberry.
Always remember that you can change these up to your taste, but the standard recipes are always good too! Don’t forget about the numerous options for toppings as well. Always a crowd pleaser when you top it off with some fresh fruit, chocolate syrup or even nuts.
Ingredients required to make that always favorite vanilla frozen yogurt are:
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 envelope gelatin
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup plain yogurt

Last but not least, we’ve thrown in a more fruity flavor and one of the most desired frozen yogurt recipes for the yogurt connoisseur. When it comes to fruit flavored frozen yogurt, raspberry is always a winner. It just has that special taste that everyone loves. We love to use fresh fruits for the organic aspect, but you can always substitute a frozen mix from your grocer’s freezer section.

1/4 cup corn syrup
1 cup plain yogurt

Let the mixture cool completely. Combine the raspberry mixture and yogurt in a bowl; stir well. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours. Pour raspberry mixture into a quality ice cream machine.
