Being naughty with "health food"

Low fat yogurt from "Ski" D-light has always been my breakfast + snack ritual for years. I've been a faithful fan of all D-light's flavours of yogurt. I don't think any other yogurt brand has ever matched up to its standards! It's filling, fruity, good for my body and it's what gets me going early in the day. I've had it on its own, with raisins, fresh berries, chocolate chips *cheeky grin*, tinned fruit, cereal....etc.... and after last night; I've had it frozen!
I'm not a Nazi with fat content and daily sugar/saturated fat intake (*thinks of the glazed doughnut I stuffed in my face this afternoon*) but I try my best *grin* Haha. If you're not quite like me with healthy eating, omit the swirl of jam and berry sauce in this recipe. The sugar added takes it off the "health food" list but I'm often in denial and I'll leave it as it is. *wink*
1/4 cup sugar
500ml low fat yogurt (berry flavoured preferably)
1 cup skim milk
1 punnet strawberries chopped roughly
1 tbsp berry jam/spread
2 tbsp sugar
Beat yogurt, milk and 1/4 cup sugar in a large jug. Pour into mixture into Ice cream maker and allow to churn according to manufacturers instructions.
Microwave jam, sugar and berries in a heat proof bowl on high for 2 minutes. Stirring well every 30 seconds. Mush and combine till it forms a thick pulp. Set aside and refrigerate while frozen yogurt is made.
Pour prepared frozen yogurt into a 1.5l capacity container, drizzle in the berry mixture and create random swirls. Freeze overnight till set completely. The mixture should resemble sorbet. Don't expect it to turn out smooth and creamy like ice-cream....it isn't an indulgent dessert! :PI have been having scoops of this for breakfast with fresh berries. I know it's naughty...but *sigh* it's oh so nice.... *giggle*

Hmmm..this from ur Ice Cream maker? Interesting..and very healthy (in a sort of way..well..far healthier than having ice cream..no??)

A lover of yoghurt, has a yoghurt maker at home and would make some quite often, plain yoghurt but would add a dash of ribena for the sweeness and eat it by itself...or chopped bananas...yummy

We don't have that yogurt here, but I'm a fan of all things frozen, so I'm sure I would enjoy it.
