Frozen Apricot Yogurt
1 1/2 cup Dried apricots
1 1/2 cup Orange juice
3 cup Low-fat yogurt
1 tsp Grated orange rind
Serve with fresh fruit or berries or garnish with a fresh mint leaf.
In small saucepan or microwave dish, combine apricots with orange
juice. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 10 to
12 minutes.
OR cover and microwave at High power for 7 minutes, or until apricots
are softened. Puree in food processor or blender, or pass through
food mill. Let cool.
Combine apricot mixture, yogurt and orange rind. Mix well. Freeze in
an ice-cream machine or transfer to shallow metal cake pan. Freeze
until almost solid. Break into big chunks and beat with electric
mixer or food processor until smooth.
Transfer to airtight container and freeze until firm (about 30 min to
1 hour). Let stand in refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes or until
softened before serving. MY NOTE: 3/4 cup size individual yogurt
containers are a good way to freeze serving size portions. Use a
strong ice cream scoop to divide up for 2 small servings.

Diet hints and tips
If your aim is to drop a dress size and develop your overall healthfulness, among other things you really should undertake a thoughtfully configured well-balanced daily routine. Ideally, this needs to involve 5 portions of fruit & veg each day and take in the correct blend of nutrients.
When devising a meal plan, the important thing is to endeavour to lower your ingestion of fat, refined carbohydrates and salt.
People starting a weight loss program often concentrate on supermarket and well known foods professing to be 'low fat'. This is usually a miscalculation, seeing that a food item may be lowered in fats, but whilst still remaining far too high in calories.
Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Occasionally when going through a hectic morning, you imagine you are peckish when in truth you may need a pure tumbler of water or orange juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite similar, albeit one can result in a broken diet and the alternative is healthy.
As an alternative to focusing on those foods that you should leave out of your meal plan, look at the good foods that you should introduce to your meal plan. If you introduce the recommended portions nutritious fruit/vegetables into your daily routine, you will be delighted to find that you feel full and have a substantially decreased risk of being seduced by those unhealthy mid-afternoon biscuits.
