Fruit yogurt is a delightful and nutritious treat that combines the creamy richness of yogurt with the natural sweetness and flavor of fresh fruit.

Making your own fruit yogurt at home is not only easy but also allows you to customize the flavor and sweetness to your liking.

Dear Lykkers! Here's a simple recipe to create your own delicious fruit yogurt.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of plain yogurt (Greek or regular, depending on your preference)

• 1 cup of fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or mango, peeled and chopped)

• 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)

• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, to enhance the fruit flavor)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruit: Begin by washing your fresh fruit thoroughly. If you’re using berries, simply pat them dry. For fruits like mango or strawberries, peel and chop them into small pieces. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the fruit into a puree.

2. Sweeten the Fruit: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped fruit with honey or maple syrup. If you like a tangier flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon juice. Stir well to coat the fruit with the sweetener and lemon juice.

3. Mix Yogurt and Fruit: In a large bowl, stir the plain yogurt to smooth out its consistency. If you're using Greek yogurt, you might want to thin it out slightly with a tablespoon of milk or water. Add the sweetened fruit mixture to the yogurt and gently fold it in until evenly combined. If you’re using vanilla extract, stir it in at this point.

4. Chill and Serve: Once the yogurt and fruit are well combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors meld together. This also helps thicken the yogurt slightly.

5. Serve: After chilling, give the yogurt a good stir before serving. You can enjoy it as is or top it with additional fresh fruit, granola, or nuts for added texture and flavor.

Storage

To keep your homemade fruit yogurt fresh and delicious, follow these storage tips:

• Refrigerate: Store the yogurt in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent any odors from the fridge affecting the yogurt.

• Freeze: If you have leftovers or want to make a batch in advance, fruit yogurt can be frozen. Spoon it into freezer-safe containers, leaving some space at the top for expansion. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.

• Avoid Repeated Thawing: If you freeze the yogurt, avoid refreezing it after thawing. The texture may change, becoming grainy or separating.

By following this simple recipe and storage tips, you can enjoy homemade fruit yogurt whenever you like—fresh, tasty, and just the way you like it!
