Use frozen blueberries, raspberries or cherries here. All are packed with flavor and nutrients. And they begin to thaw to a sorbet-like consistency almost immediately. Combining them with thick, creamy Greek yogurt gives you the sensation of eating ice cream — plus protein and calcium. Choose plain so you can control the sweetness. Make it full fat to keep the hunger pangs at bay. Add nuts if you like. Serves 1. – Susan Puckett Ingredients
