- Combine Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the blended berries. Blend again until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or acidity with additional lemon juice, if desired.

- Soften Before Serving: Remove the frozen yogurt from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to let it soften slightly for easier scooping. Serve in bowls or cones.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer taste, but low-fat yogurt can be used for a lighter option.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference, especially depending on the tartness of the berries.
- For a smoother frozen yogurt, blend the mixture longer or strain seeds if preferred.
- Use fresh berries or thaw frozen berries before blending.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan alternative.
- Letting the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature before scooping ensures easier serving.
