Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Lemon Frozen Yogurt

Whisk together the vanilla Greek yogurt, sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large measuring cup until smooth.
Pour the lemon yogurt mixture into the ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes until soft-serve consistency is reached.
If using no ice cream maker, pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze for about 4-5 hours until solid.
Once frozen, let the cubes thaw for 5-10 minutes, then blend in a food processor until creamy.
Serve immediately or refreeze in an airtight container for up to 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.
