3 Ingredient Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

How y'all been? 
I have been so restless and grouchy this week due to Football Withdrawal Syndrome. 
Days are so gloomy and empty without those Football/Soccer(whatever you call it)  matches, Ah how I miss you!! 
To avoid being a couch potato, I kept myself active in kitchen doing some 'trial and error' and I made sure that each and every creation was Instagrammed. One of such experimented recipes is Frozen Yogurt - incredibly easy!! If I can do it, you can do it.. even a kid can do it !!

 Bought a couple of boxes of strawberries since they're in season now. YAYY. I can't get enough of them. After making my favorite Slushy Strawberry Smoothie, I knew I had to make FroYo. Especially when it's hot outside and all you can think of is having a cool treat to beat the heat. 

This recipe couldn't be any simpler and you just need 3 ingredients to put this treat together. No fancy ice-cream maker required. Here's how I do it....

Banana Strawberry Shake

Summer means different things to different people in different parts of the world. Back home in India, I grew up in Chennai. I love Chennai but definitely not a fan of its summer which is too harsh and merciless. Scorching heat, raising tempers, sweats that wash away the little glow on the face that is left and to top it all, frequent power failures – is this enough for you to get the feel of it?! Like it or not – you are left with no option but to deal with it. It clasps you with its sweaty embrace that you can never really escape!

But now that I moved to Chicago, it is like the mighty sun has silently heard my curses all along and decided to show me now what it would look like without 'him'. It is already May and summer still looks like a distant dream in Chicago. I just cant wait for some sunshine. I have always dreaded summer but now no one can be more excited than I am for it.Whoof! The grass is always greener on the other side and the person who quoted this definitely knew a thing or two about the different climates in different parts of the world. 

So wherever you are, if you like summer or not- there is something we can do to make you happy – Milkshakes/Fruit Juices/Smoothies. Trust me; you are going to see lot more of these recipes in our blog for the next couple of months! When I say ‘lot more’ I mean ‘LOT MORE’  (you will soon know what it means ;)) Let us fight/rejoice (depends where you are)  the summer together.

So here is the recipe for banana strawberry shake -
