I want to see people wearing jackets, not shorts.
I want to see people drink hot coffees, not iced lattes.
I want to smell pumpkin, nutmeg, peppermint.
I want to see a Christmas tree...
But that won't happen... all we have are cactuses!
So, in commemoration of the summer that never seems to end that I am sad to see go, I made some frozen yogurt. I was actually planning on making Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, but I had a tube of juice concentrate in my itty bitty dormroom freezer, so it needed to go! Oh, and I also forgot to freeze my ice cream maker bowls... anywaysss... to the frozen yogurt! It was plenty sweet, and it actually reminded me of the orange creamsicles I used get at the beach with my family in the summer as a kid. It crystallized a little bit the second time I froze it, but that can be fixed if you add a tablespoon of vodka or use an ice-cream maker. This healthy and easy fro-yo is the best way to yank summer back into our lives!

Orange Creamsicle Frozen Yogurt: [low fat, high protein]
(makes ~4 cups)
one 12oz tube Frozen 100% Juice Concentrate (I used Dole's Orange Peach Mango)
6oz (3/4 cup) Plain, Nonfat Greek Yogurt
one 12oz can Evaporated Fat Free Milk
14g (1 tbs) Grapeseed Oil
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, put all of the ingredients into a large bowl, then stir until everything is incorporated
2. Follow your ice cream maker instructions (I did this without an ice cream maker, but a little bit of the oil floated to the top while in the freezer. If you don't mind this, you can just freeze it until scoopable)
3. Let thaw on the counter for 30-50 minutes (I like my ice cream like a soft serve, so I left it out for 50). Enjoy!

Oh, and another thing to love about this fro-yo: it is high potassium! A tube of juice concentrate has 54% of your daily potassium, the milk has 36%, the yogurt, 7%... all totaling to a whopping 97%!! If this recipes makes a little less than 4 cups, than your almost-1-cup-serving will give you 24% of your daily potassium. Is that already not an excuse to make three batches of the stuff?
Let's all celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of Fall...
It's still hot here in Florida, too! Gosh, I am so excited for fall to come!
