I poured the juice remaining into cups to create this delicious refreshing flavor. Bananas, Grapes, Cherries and mangoes added sweetness, you can add sugar.

  • Bananas Juice
  • Cherries Juice
  • Kiwi Juice
  • Strawberries Juice
  • Apricot Juice
  • Grape Juice

Rich taste and aroma!

  • The 7% Yogurt is more creamy and consistent. Also, sugar from honey and jams prevented water granulation.
  • Fresh bananas, cherries and grapes added a natural sweetness to the iced yogurt.
  • Try to grind nuts.
