Frozen Greek Yogurt~ at home or on the run!

Frozen Greek Yogurt~ at home or on the run!

Greek yogurt can only get better as a frozen ice cream treat. Greek yogurt is non-fat and loaded with probiotics and located in every grocery store. My favorite brand is FAGE Greek yogurt. Try this new frozen treat at home with the recipe below or on the run at my new favorite place in NYC ~Joyride.

Frozen Greek yogurt is now being served at Joyride, a mobile truck run by three Ivy-educated friends. At Joyride, Greek frozen yogurt is made with a blend of organic traditional and all natural Greek yogurt. When ordering, refer to your yogurt as "fro yo". Try “buzzed” — "fro yo" infused with caffeine along with creative toppings. Can't make it to New York, try this recipe below and enjoy!

1. Place your berries, sugar and juice in a bowl and mix well. Place in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
