Blueberry Frozen Yogurt #StreamTeam

Just because school is out, it doesn’t mean your brain needs to take a perma-vacation! This month the theme for Netflix is Get a Brain Boost. I decided to make a recipe to go along with the theme that uses items that are good for your brain such as blueberries and yogurt. I made two different batches of Blueberry Frozen Yogurt and the second batch was the definite winner. The first batch… not so much. I tried using honey as the sweetener and I think I just put way too much honey in it. My husband said it tasted like soap and the kids thought it was horrible. The second batch I gave in and used sugar. Money said “it’s ok to me” but then wanted to steal my bowl, so apparently she liked it. My husband hasn’t been home to give it a try yet, but I think he’ll like this one as well.

Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Recipe and Get a Brain Boost from Netflix

Ingredients

  • 3 cups blueberries fresh
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 small lemon to be zested and juiced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups full fat yogurt chilled

Instructions

  1. Sort through your blueberries and discard any bad berries, stems or debris. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, cinnamon and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
  2. Refrigerate the blueberry mixture until it is completely chilled. (Approximately 45 minutes)
  3. Mix together your chilled blueberry mixture and chilled yogurt in a blender or food processor, then freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to your manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately for a soft serve texture, or transfer the frozen yogurt to a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours for a scoopable consistency.

Later today I’m going to be printing out some worksheets to help keep my kids’ brains moving this summer. This has been our first week off, basically since we’ve had camps and such, and there’s been entirely too much video games already! Netflix has some ideas for some shows to help give your kids a Brain Boost:

Brain Boost with Netflix #StreamTeam

1. Lewis & Clark: The Journey Out West
2. Walking with Dinosaurs
3. Secret Yellowstone
4. The Blue Planet
5. When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions

Brain Boost with Netflix #StreamTeam

1. The Great Mouse Detective
2. Busytown Mysteries
3. LeapFrog: Math Adventures to the Moon
4. Turtle: The Incredible Journey
5. The Magic School Bus

My kids like watching The Magic School Bus and they also like Wild Krats, which didn’t make the list. (In fact, Monkey is in the other room watching that right now.) Do you have any tips for keeping your kids’ brains from turning to mush over the summer? I hope you enjoy my brain boosting recipe: Blueberry Frozen Yogurt while you sit down to enjoy a brain boosting show from Netflix.

  1. Sometimes life just needs a little sugar! The frozen yogurt sounds delicious! I love blueberry anything!

    • If you lived closer, I’d bring some by. I have another ice cream recipe I’m making for Thursday, so soon I’ll be swimming in ice cream!

  7. I have that same problem when I try to avoid sugar sometimes. Dang that sugar for being so good. This looks soooo good, Paula!

  11. That blueberry yogurt looks delicious! I’ll have to check out some of these movies on Netflix. We try to get in some “learning” time every day.

  13. Yum! Blueberry frozen yogurt and blueberry sorbet are two of our Summer faves. …and my son has several of those Netflix movies in our que at the moment.

  15. Mmmmm, that looks so incredibly tasty. I would love to eat some right now. It is 90 degrees here and that would be so refreshing.

  16. I love that Netflix has so many educational movies and television shows! I can always find something for the kids to watch.

  17. This sounds delicious! I love frozen yogurt in summer and feel a lot less guilty giving that as a treat to my girls than sugar laden options from the store. Brain boosting movies sound fabulous as well. Happy summer!

  19. This looks really yummy and easy to make. I would love to make this treat during my time off next week.

  24. Ohhh I cant eat fresh blueberries because of the consistency (I am weird) but I bet I could do this! I love the flavor – I have just never been able to get past the way they feel in my mouth – I can take DOWN some blueberry muffins though LOL

    • I am SO with you, but this isn’t the same. They pop when you cook them and then you blend them to smithereens, so it’s just a flavor, not a texture. I also can’t eat strawberries because of the way they feel in my mouth. You are not alone. 🙂

  30. When We Left Earth is one of my favorite movies, and I love that Netflix has so many incredible documentaries. So much good stuff to watch and learn about!

  32. Big Netflix Fans here and we use it for learning a lot. Most of the time the kids don’t even know it!

  38. I love making frozen yogurt at home. I havne’t tried blueberry, though! Guess what I’m making this weekend?

  42. We love Netflix. My husband and I are in the middle of the Lost series and my kids are watching Power Rangers right now!

  48. I am pretty sure we have seen the listed features on your second list, but we haven’t seen any on your first list. We will be checking them out. As for your recipe, it looks and sounds so refreshing, I think I will be getting the ingredients at the store tonight. Thanks

    • I understand. I just made my 3rd recipe with it today and I’ve only had it a week. Shhh.
