I have a confession to make. And I hope you still like me and want to be my friend and will still sign my yearbook after you hear it. 😉
Ready?
I don’t really like cake all that much. Gasp! And if I had my druthers (seriously one of my favorite words ever!) I would rather have a bowl of cereal as a treat than a bowl of ice cream.
Which leads me to my next confession.
Ready?
Sometimes I mix my cereals. I hope all of you cereal purists will still be my friends too! A little bit of a variety of cereal all in one bowl is just divine. Like a cereal smorgasbord. Now my son is mixing his cereals too and my husband claims it is all part of my master plan.
Mwah ah ah!
I’m not exactly sure why I would prefer cereal to cake or ice cream. But maybe it has something to do with loving things that are more thick…dense…and a bit chewy.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a good Dairy Queen blizzard. But, again, it’s dense…and thick…and creamy…and with chopped up Heath bar mixed in…oh my stars…uh oh…now I’m craving one!!
But, I digress. I’ve recently discovered the joys of Greek Yogurt which is not only healthier for you but has that wonderful thickness I love so much.
We’ve had a lot of ice cream in our house lately due to the plethora of birthdays and end of the school year celebrations but frankly they hold no appeal for me. But one night I wanted something that felt just a bit more like a “treat” and I wondered if it might just be possible to take my love for Greek yogurt to the next level.
So I made vanilla chocolate chip frozen Greek Yogurt.
And let me tell you, the love didn’t just go up one level, it went through the roof!
I may or may not have licked the bowl.
I also may or may not have closed my eyes a few times while eating it just to fully appreciate the depth of flavor.
And my husband may or may not have looked at me like I was crazy. But, I’m used to getting that look every time he sees me pouring a little bit from each cereal box into my bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 large carton plain of Vanilla Flavored Greek Yogurt (I prefer Dannon's Oikos)
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1/2 cup chopped chocolate chips
- *You could also use fresh berries which have been frozen in advance.
Instructions
- Use a strainer to remove liquid from yogurt. It will not set well otherwise.
- Mix together in a medium bowl yogurt, sugar and honey and then stir in the chopped chocolate chips. Using a mixer, blender (I use my immersion blender) blend well for 1-2 minutes.
- Pop it in the freezer for approximately 2 hours.
- Best when eaten the same day.
So do you still like me and want to be my friend even though I’m not crazy about cake?
 I think if you tried this you might just want to call me your BFF and write in my yearbook that you hope I have a ‘rad’ summer and ‘stay tan’. 😉

One carton? What size?
Hi Elaine! One of the big cartons. 🙂
Do you mean quart size or individual large size. It’s a small amount of sugar and honey so that’s why I’m not sure.
Elaine I used the large quart size but I didn’t want mine too sweet. You could always add more if you wanted! 🙂
Now I have to go to the store in 90 degree heat with a humidity index of 80%! I MUST make this TODAY!! I am quite sure it won’t last through the evening so I’m making a double batch! Thank so, so much.
Wonder is this would work with nonfat Greek yogurt and sugar substitute ?
