There’s something about a classic vanilla. Whether it be cake or ice cream or in this frozen yogurt. I love a good vanilla treat every now and again. It goes great with everything – I like to keep it on hand almost all summer long.
When I realized that we were enjoying cool treats nearly every night through the hot months I started tweaking our favorite homemade recipes to make them lighter & better for us. Don’t get me wrong. I can really go over the top when it comes to a dessert. Did you see my Ultimate Ice Cream Float? Yeah – I can really do it up- unfortunately my waistline can’t handle all that so frequently. So for everyday I like to keep it simple. Which is why this Classic Vanilla Frozen Yogurt is a favorite. 
It’s so easy – no churn… with just 5 minutes of prep – it’s ready to enjoy in about 4 hours.
