Healthy Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

It is my firm belief that frozen yogurt is so much tastier than ice cream. We eat frozen yogurt a lot in our household. We usually buy the vanilla and then top it with a bunch of fresh fruit, so it is usually a healthy snack for us.  We are really trying to limit how much we buy at the store that is processed so we knew we had to try this recipe out. We had this last night for dessert and were pleasantly surprised at how much we liked it and how easy it was to make.

*You do need an ice cream maker to make this dessert recipe
