Any recipes for homemade HEALTHY ice cream/frozen yogurt?

[banslug]

I dug out my ice cream freezer this morning. The kids and I are celebrating the last day of school by making homemade ice cream. Older DS wants Rocky Road and younger DS wants Strawberry. I, however, would like a low fat version of pretty much any flavor.

Does anybody have a recipe for low fat ice cream or frozen yogurt? Any flavor?

This isn't an ice cream recipe for a machine but it's sorta close! It is yummy and easy. Freeze fruit of your choice, pineapple works great!!! Once frozen, I put in my Cuisinart and pulse w/plain yogurt and a tiny bit of sugar. Smooth and wonderful

I have some pineapple in my freezer for just this reason!!!!

Another fruit option: buy some ripe bananas, peel and break into 2-3 segments and freeze. Use these as the basis for an ice-creamy-like dessert by adding fresh or frozen fruit or cocoa/carob, flavorings, etc. and mixing in a food processor or sturdy blender (like Vitamix) or running through a juice extractor like Green Star.
