1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional – adjust to taste)

1 tsp lime juice (optional, for extra zing)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Blend it all:

Add the frozen fruit, yogurt, sweetener, lime juice, and vanilla (if using) to a food processor or high-speed blender.

Process until smooth:

Blend until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides if needed. It should have a soft-serve texture.

Taste and adjust:

Taste and add more sweetener or lime juice if desired.

Serve immediately for soft-serve-style yogurt,

🔄 Tips & Variations

Make it vegan: Use plant-based yogurt (coconut, almond, or soy) and maple syrup or agave.

No frozen fruit? Use fresh fruit and add ice cubes — though texture won’t be as creamy.

Add protein: Mix in a scoop of protein powder or nut butter.

Batch it: Freeze in popsicle molds for a fun treat!
