\"Frozen<\/p>\n

Frozen yogurt, how I love you! Let me count the ways.<\/p>\n

Seriously, I\u2019m such a creamy dessert kind of gal. I\u2019m not crazy about cake or cookies (exception: chocolate<\/strong> kinds). I\u2019m all about the mousse, pudding, ice-cream, whipped topping, rice pudding, and frozen yogurt!Especially frozen yogurt<\/em>. The store bought stuff tastes amazing, not gonna lie, but I don\u2019t like all the extra stuff in it that makes it just as unhealthy as store bought ice-cream. Artificial flavourings, preservatives, high-fructose glucose\u2026those don\u2019t sound nice at all.<\/p>\n

I typically try to avoid carbs in the evening, as well as sugar, so I\u2019ve come up with lots of simple dessert ideas to nip that sweet tooth in the bud!<\/p>\n

This is my favourite quick recipe! It\u2019s so simple; it really shouldn\u2019t even be called a recipe. It’s also great for a healthy sweet snack or for recovery after a tough workout. I really love to use Greek yogurt to up the protein!<\/p>\n

Basic Instant Frozen Yogurt<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \u00bd cup plain Greek yogurt*<\/li>\n
  2. 3-4 packets Truvia**<\/li>\n
  3. 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    *I often use a thick-style of Balkan yogurt if we don’t have Greek.<\/p>\n

    **I used NuStevia<\/a> as well, but only up to \u00be of one packet\u2026it\u2019s a LOT sweeter!<\/p>\n

    Just put the ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add just enough Truvia<\/a> until it\u2019s as sweet as you like it. Now pop it into your freezer for maybe a half of an hour (ish) and just give it one or two stirs when you pass by the freezer. Once you take it out, it should have an ice-cream consistency. Serves 1.<\/p>\n

    Bliss Challenge: <\/span><\/p>\n

    The folks over at Bliss<\/a> have been having different challenges for several weeks now. I\u2019ve participated in one challenge, but I thought it might be fun to join in on their \u201cWeek 6\u201d challenge<\/a>. This week it\u2019s to share 5 things that readers might not know about me\u2026<\/p>\n

    So, just for fun, here they are!<\/p>\n

    1.<\/strong> I don\u2019t mind seeing it, but I hate it when people talk about blood or needles. I\u2019m not squeamish, but this sort of does<\/em> something to me!<\/p>\n

    2. <\/strong>I want one of those tiny, teacup type dogs. Yes, they are completely useless, but I think they are adorable!<\/p>\n

    \"My<\/p>\n

    Isn\u2019t it adorable? Found him (pardon me\u2026her) via Pinterest<\/a> and totally flipped! This one<\/a> kinda pulled at my heartstrings too!<\/p>\n

    3.<\/strong> Change is something I\u2019m not afraid of. I adapt pretty easily to new things.<\/p>\n

    4. <\/strong>I am Christian and the Lord Jesus gives me fulfillment and a joy-filled existence. I truly couldn\u2019t ask for a better life!<\/p>\n

    \"Let<\/p>\n

    (picture also via Pinterest<\/a> \u2013 just love this!)<\/p>\n

    5.<\/strong> I\u2019m still just as crazy about frozen yogurt as when I started writing this post. (duh) Last night I made an amaaazing chocolate<\/strong> chocolate chip version! I might just share it with you sometime! (grin)<\/p>\n

    I\u2019d love to hear 5 things about you too! Simply comment below\u2026I love reading your comments! You all make my day every day!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
