    I have an ice cream maker but it is thrown in the back of the cupboard everytime I try to make a healthy one with greek yogout it goes really hard and uneatable without breaking teeth. If someone could tell me what I have to do to get it smooth creamy I would be eternally grateful.

    Pineapple sorbet

    One whole pineapple, cored, skinned, and lightly pureed.
    About 2 Tb lemon juice
    Agave nectar to taste
    Mix together, then throw in the ice cream maker for about 25 mins.

    Makes about 5 cups, super yummy!
    Could also add about a cup of coconut milk if you'd like a creamier mixture.

    Sounds yum! The instruction book might have some recipes (and you should be able to make frozen yogurt with that, too).

    I make lime granitas in mine. My recipe is at home, but it's quite similar to this one:

    http://dessert.food.com/recipe/lime-granita-28439

    You can sub in artificial sweetener of your choice for the sugar. I personally like my lemonade/limeade tart anyway, so I just cut down the sugar to taste.

    Pour the stuff in and turn the ice cream maker on. You end up with an ICEE or Lemon Chill type texture. Then I put it in small cups (I use 6oz plastic yogurt cups) and store it in the freezer. even after it freezes hard it easily scrapes up with a spoon.

    1/2 cup pure canned pumpkin (20 cals)

    What brand is this? Libby's - Canned Pumpkin, 1/4 cup is 20 cals alone. So 1/2 would be 40 cals...
