Often desserts are the undoing of the good intentions set at the start of the year. Cutting out fatty foods and junk food from our main courses is easy, but many of us can't do without something sweet to finish off the evening's meal.
Frozen yoghurt is a great way to replace sweet and unhealthy with sweet and healthy, and if you make it yourself you can be sure of the ingredients. This is true not only for the dessert as a whole, but also for the yoghurt. By using EasiYo, you can see what is going into your dessert from start to finish.
You don't need expensive equipment to make these frozen yoghurt ideas, just a blender and a freezer.
