Opa! Greek Frozen Yogurt

Greek Yogurt is all the rage. It is thicker and creamier than regular yogurt and has better health benefits…but what is Greek Yogurt?

Greek Yogurt, which is also called strained yogurt, is yogurt that has been strained extensively to remove much of the liquid whey, lactose, and sugar. This creates the thick consistency and strong flavor.

US News & World Report reported on the health benefits of Greek Yogurt in a recent article.

Nanci’s Frozen Yogurt is excited to introduce a new Greek Frozen Yogurt recipe. We don’t feel you can really capture the essence of Greek Yogurt by simply adding a flavoring, so we’ve created a recipe that gives you the best and most authentic Greek Frozen Yogurt on the market.

Frozen Yogurt Recipe Ideas

We have some great flavor recipes/combinations that will keep your customers coming back time and time again. We all have our “go to” best selling flavors that we don’t want to change, but you never know when a bold and unique new flavor idea could become your signature product. The beauty of Nanci’s mixes is you can keep it very easy and simple or you can make artisan products with your own creativity.

The key to these recipes is the using the “Blender Method” described below.

Blender Method

  1. Prepare the base mix as normal in a large bucket.FOOD PEANUTBUTTER 2 KC
  2. Fill a blender half way with prepared base mix.
  3. Add the extra additive (fresh peanut butter, Nutella or fruit) into the blender and blend throughly. There shouldn’t be any large particles.
  4. Stir the concentrated base mix from the blender back into the rest of the base mix in the bucket.
  5. Take a quick taste to make sure its the right strength and then pour into your soft-serve machine.

Recipe suggestions:
