How does it sound to have a dessert with roughly the consistency of ice cream, but without the butter, sugar and all around terrible ingredients for your body? Then you will love this recipe! This is not limited to strawberries, as you can use any fruit, but this recipe is for strawberries.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups strawberries (fresh, cleaned, cut in half or fourths)
• 1/2 cup preserves (sugar-free or low-sugar Strawberry)
• 1/2 cup stevia (In the Raw Granulated Sweetener or Splenda, or use sugar if you don't care if the frozen yogurt is low-sugar)
• 2 cups greek yogurt (fage total 0%, or use any plain or greek yogurt of your choice if you don't care if it's fat-free)
