Tips:
-
- Strawberries: Fresh strawberries give the best flavor, but frozen work well too (no need to thaw completely). Avoid pre-sweetened frozen berries.
- Sweetness: Adjust sugar based on strawberry sweetness and personal taste. Honey or agave can replace sugar for a natural sweetener.
- Texture: Full-fat yogurt yields creamier results; low-fat may be icier. Blend thoroughly for smoothness.
- Variations: Add 1/2 cup chopped strawberries or chocolate chips in the last 5 minutes of churning for texture. Swap strawberries for raspberries or mixed berries.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Cover surface with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
