Homemade Orange Cream and Key Lime Yogurt

Jacob loves the Yoplait orange cream yogurt cups, and I buy them as a treat for him, but they're pricey. So we decided to try to make our own. It is incredibly easy!

Fill a small dish with vanilla yogurt (or add sweetener and vanilla to plain yogurt)--about 3/4 cup yogurt, I think. Then add one spoonful of orange juice concentrate. That's it!

Next we're going to try to make key lime yogurt. I bought limeade concentrate for this--we'll see if it works!

One more note: when you're adding pureed fruit or juice concentrate to your yogurt, stir gently with a spoon instead of blending. Blending breaks the yogurt's "gel," so you'll end up with a very thin drink-like consistency.

Have you made any yummy yogurt concoctions lately?

Update: we made key lime yogurt simply by adding a spoonful of limeade concentrate instead of orange juice concentrate. Very good!
