SKINNY VANILLA BEAN FROZEN YOGURT

I'm a big vanilla ice cream fan, so I had to create a great-tasting, low-fat alternative to enjoy guilt-free. Use a fresh vanilla bean and thick, Greek-style yogurt for best results.

Yield makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup (1 percent) low-fat milk
3/4 cup light agave nectar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
1 cup nonfat plain Greek-style yogurt
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Pinch of sea salt

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the milk, agave nectar, vanilla bean, and vanilla seeds. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat and let the vanilla bean steep for 1/2 hour in the milk mixture. Remove the vanilla bean from the cooled milk and reserve. In a food processor, blend together the milk mixture, yogurt, dry milk, xanthan gum, and salt until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Pour into a container, replace the vanilla bean, and allow it to infuse the mixture for several hours or overnight. When ready to freeze, discard the vanilla bean and freeze in the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and creamier your frozen yogurt will be.
  • Freeze the bananas in advance: This will help them blend more smoothly and give your frozen yogurt a creamier texture.
  • Use a high-powered blender: This will help you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add a variety of mix-ins to your frozen yogurt, such as berries, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
  • Enjoy your frozen yogurt immediately, or store it in the freezer for later.

Conclusion:

This skinny vanilla bean frozen yogurt is a delicious and healthy treat that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is made with just a few simple ingredients, and it is easy to make. You can enjoy it on its own, or you can top it with your favorite mix-ins. So next time you are looking for a healthy and refreshing snack, give this skinny vanilla bean frozen yogurt a try.
