If you are an ice cream lover but hate all the added sugar and cream, allow us to introduce you to the world of frozen yogurt. Even if you’re not counting calories, a lighter option like frozen yogurt is an amazing treat for anytime of the year but especially the spring and summer. Most recipes require the use of an ice cream maker but this recipe, courtesy of Crofter’s Organic, uses store-bought frozen yogurt that you pimp up with chocolate, almonds, and lemon zest for a burst of sunshine. Trust us – it’ll taste NOTHING like the store-bought stuff once you’re done with it.
