Get the Recipe: 35+ Easy, Healthy Greek Yogurt Recipes: Homemade Frozen Yogurt
Using 4 simple ingredients and a food processor, you can make healthy refreshing greek frozen yogurt at home in minutes! While this recipe is for a strawberry greek frozen yogurt, feel free to swap the strawberries with any frozen fruit of your liking. Frozen mangos, blueberries, raspberries… they would all work wonderfully. Plus, more recipes using Greek Yogurt!
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt (higher fat, if possible) (benefits of Greek yogurt)
- 4 cups frozen strawberries (or other fruit)
- 3-4 Tbsp pure maple syrup (depending on desired sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Equipment
Instructions
- Add the plain greek yogurt, frozen strawberries (or other frozen fruit), maple syrup, and vanilla extract to your food processor.
- Pulse and blend until a thick "froyo" texture is formed. This can take a couple minutes, and you may need to push the mixture down occasionally. Adjust sweetness (maple syrup) to taste.
- Serve and enjoy right away for a more soft-serve like texture. Alternatively, transfer to a loaf pan and pop it in the freezer for about 30 minutes if you want it a little more firm!
Notes
*LEFTOVERS: can be kept in a freezer-safe, airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Once stored in the freezer, this homemade froyo will solidify quite a bit. Be sure to remove it from your freezer AT LEAST 30 minutes before you want to eat it!
*FRESH FRUIT: You can use fresh fruit for this recipe, BUT you will have to freeze it yourself first! To do so, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove any stems or peels from your fruit and slice them into smaller pieces. Lay the pieces out in a single layer on the baking sheet and place into the freezer until the fruits are frozen solid, about 8 hours or overnight.
*RECIPE MODIFICATIONS:
- Feel free to get creative and use ANY frozen fruit (or a mix of them) instead of strawberries.
- I used plain greek yogurt for this recipe, but I would assume it would work with a vegan yogurt as well. Do note that you may have to play around with the ingredients a bit to get the right consistency.
- If you’d like to play around with extra flavours, you can try adding different spices like cinnamon, ginger, or cardamom. Or try throwing in something refreshing like mint or lime juice!
- If you want to get real creative, add toppings like nuts, fresh fruit, or granola – just as you would at a frozen yogurt shop!
