10 Frozen Yogurt Recipes That Will Make You Forget About Orange Leaf

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Northwestern chapter.

Who doesn’t love frozen yogurt—the ultimate creamy, sweet, tangy treat—on a hot summer day? Your wallet, when you hit up expensive chains and pile on the toppings as high as they’ll go (we’ve all done it). Or your friends, when they don’t feel like walking to the nearest Orange Leaf for the third time in one week.

But neither of those facts should stop you from enjoying this trendy, healthy-ish dessert all summer long. The solution? These 10 frozen yogurt recipes that are easy, fresh, and bursting with flavor.

Hi! I'm Sophie, and I have a passion for writing, reading, running, and traveling. I’ve spent my entire life learning to cook and bake from my mom (the best chef in the world), enjoying homemade food around my family’s dinner table, and writing about it all. I believe that life is better with warm cookies and worn books, fresh ingredients and first drafts, cozy kitchens and companions to cook with. Nothing cures headaches like chocolate, no first day of school is complete without pumpkin bread, and no dreary day can brighten without chicken noodle soup.
