Yogurt you just can't finish?


Vanilla and Blueberry Yogurt (I threw some raspberries in there)


Have you ever bought yogurt on sale, and see it in the fridge and think, "there is no way im going to finish that before it expires?"

Well I read some where that you can freeze yogurt, and freezing dairy sounded strange to me. However I came accross an awesome deal on some clearance yogurt and decided to give it a try. I took the containers home (they had 4 days left an i got thm for 15 cents a pop!) I spread the yogurt onto cookie sheets that were lined with parchment paper (wax paper would also work, just dont use plastic wrap) and stuck them in the freezer for a few hours. I took them out later an broke the yogurt into little peices and put them in ziplock baggies. Last night I had some bananas and pineapple that needed to be eaten, so i blended them up with some ice and apple juice and threw in a handful of "frozen yogurt." It was DELICIOUS! Watch out Jamba Juice...

So if there's ever any yogurt hanging around. Dont toss it! Freeze it!

And on that note, if you ever have any fruit that you cant finish before it goes completly bad, freeze it! lay berries on a pan, slice banana (or squish it) onto a pan, after freezing you can break i apart into peices for easier access later. store in ziplock or tupperware in your freezer for smoothies later! Trick your hubby into thinking he's getting dessert for breakfast! :)
