Easy Healthy Banana Cream Frozen Yogurt

The secret to success with this recipe is finding the right balance between the tangy Greek yogurt and more mild cream cheese. If you use regular yogurt instead, you may want to use a little more because it is less creamy than Greek varieties.

My kids are going to absolutely go nuts over this. Their go-to after-school snack is vanilla bean greek yogurt with chocolate on top. So this is going to be like 10 steps up from that! I think I will have some happy kids today.
