Ingredients
- 250 g mixed berries fresh or frozen
- 600 g low fat vanilla yoghurt
- 2 egg white
- 2 tbsp low GI honey
Method
- Place the berries and yoghurt in a food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until stiff peaks form. Add the honey a tablespoon at a time, whisking well after each addition until thick and glossy. Fold into the berry yoghurt mixture until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into an airtight container and place in the freezer for 4 hours or until frozen. Use a metal spoon to break the frozen yoghurt into chunks. Blend again in a food processor until smooth. Return to the airtight container and refreeze for 3 hours or until frozen. Serve in scoops.
