FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but Greek yogurt provides a thicker, creamier texture. Regular yogurt will result in a softer frozen yogurt.

Yes, you can mash the kiwis thoroughly with a fork to create the puree before mixing with the yogurt, though the texture may be less smooth.
