Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. This sweet treat has so much flavor and zing, it's better than what you would get at the local frozen yogurt shop. If you have plain yogurt, add a touch of vanilla to the yogurt mixture to make it more heavenly. You can also use honey or agave nectar in place of the granulated sugar for a sweeter flavor and to cut the sugar intake. Real strawberries make this treat even sweeter and juicier. You can use any kind of berry in this recipe and your frozen yogurt will still be delicious.
