Peach Frozen Yogurt

• 2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened sliced peaches, thawed
• 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/4 cup sugar (1/4 tsp. stevia)
• 16 ounces fat-free reduced-sugar vanilla yogurt  (Instead of store sweetened vanilla yogurt, I used plain yogurt added 1 tsp stevia and 1 tsp vanilla)

Directions

1. Place the peaches in a blender or food processor; cover and process until pureed. Set aside. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Stir in sugar. Cook and stir over low heat until gelatin and sugar are dissolved.
2. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, peach puree and gelatin mixture until blended. Pour into an ungreased 9-in. square dish. Cover and freeze for 3-4 hours or until partially set. Cut into pieces and place in a mixing bowl; beat on medium speed until smooth. Transfer to a freezer container. Cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

Keifer

Keifer grains....about 1 TBS


Place them in a pint jar with fresh mik.




Put a lid on it.




Let the grains do their work...24-72 hours

Strain out the grains with a plastic strainer. Rinse the grains and use them again.

Just that easy. I marvel at how easy it is now. I have had the grains for over a year and initially agonized over the process. I would call in my aunt to check it and confirm that I had done it right....I have made my 3rd batch in the past 2 weeks and am loving it. I suppose my favorite use is making Blueberry Lemon Keifer Smoothie. My best description is that keifer is liquid yogurt. It blesses us with those beneficial bacteria that our digestive tract needs. It is slightly effervescent and tangy. I recommend sweetening it with stevia. Keifer is one of those super foods.

Lemon Yogurt

Lemon Yogurt...sugar free...healthy and wellness plan approved!  So simple!!! Here goes.  Get a bowl and wisk!  You are ready!

1 lg container of plain yogurt                                       

3 small lemons

Juice them...
















I have really liked this juicer from Pampered Chef....

now add:
1/2 -1 tsp stevia

I whisked all three ingredients together ...and still wanted more lovely lemony flavor...so that is when I decided to add zest.

So simple to do...just got my old box grater that has 4 cutting options.  I use the tiniest grater option for zest.  It works for me and I don't have to keep up with the zester.  I bought one once, but I lost it.  I love my old box grater.  It goes back to my love for old things, but that is a whole other blog posting! 

Enjoy the lovely lemon yogurt, knowing that it is 100% sugar free and healthy!
