An ice cream maker allows you to create your own frozen desserts with wholesome ingredients like fruit and yogurt. This one is a terrific alternative to commercial ice cream. It is fat-free and, even though it contains some sugar, it is very low in calories. When strawberries are not in season, frozen are a fine alternative.

Too much sugar plus added sugar? Lots of sugars plus added sugars in this recipe -- not a good one at all. Pros: Yogurt already has milk sugar 8 grams. OJ is all sugar. Cons: The sugars still count even if they're low. 20 grams CHO is still 80 sugar calories. Read More

This was wonderful (strong perfect strawberry flavor with just a hint of orange) and so easy. I didn't have orange juice so I used 1 1/2 teaspoons frozen concentrate instead which worked great. I did notice that the longer this was frozen it seemed to lose a little of its strawberry flavor. The serving size 1/2 c. was plenty. Read More
