5-Minute Healthy Greek Frozen Yogurt Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 0 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 4 cups frozen fruit
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 Tablespoons honey

Instructions 

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract and honey. Process the mixture until it is creamy, about 5 minutes. (See Kelly’s Notes.)
  • Serve the frozen yogurt immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze it until ready to serve.

Kelly’s Notes:

  • The type and size of frozen fruit will determine how long it has to be blended. Sliced frozen bananas may only require 2 to 3 minutes of blending, while larger frozen strawberries or diced mango may require up to 5 minutes.
  • You can use full-fat Greek yogurt or any percentage of fat, however the more fat, the creamier the frozen yogurt will be.
  • This Greek frozen yogurt will last up to 1 month when stored properly in an airtight container in the freezer.

    This is SO GOOD. We made mango first and my 7 year old is obsessed. Next up is strawberry on Friday for the strawberry moon. Seriously, this is divine!

  2. 4 stars
    My husband was craving ice cream so I made this for him and he loved it! I used frozen banana and dark sweet cherries. I only used 2 tbsp of honey but it was still a bit too sweet for our liking so next time we will use only 1-1.5 tbsp. depending on what frozen fruits we have on hand. Will definitely be making this again and again!

  3. 5 stars
    My whole family loves this recipe. We have tried so many fruit combos and I love how nutritious this one is without all the added processed sugar.

  4. 5 stars
    Really good! Had to use a little more yogurt because my blender was having trouble with the rock solid fruit, so obviously it ended up a little loose — just popped it in the freezer for like half an hour and it was the right consistency. I used a bag of mixed frozen fruits and it was great. I also tried out watermelon, but I haven’t actually eaten it yet. I was thinking the high water content would mess it up but it looks the same as the other one, so it seems like it’s fine! Definitely a great way to use up fruit that’s taking up freezer space.

    1. Hi Janet – I’ve never made just a coconut-flavored frozen yogurt so I’m not entirely sure what the process would be.

    1. Hi Christine – I haven’t used either of those so I can’t say with certainty what the results would be. Let me know if you give it a shot!

      1. Hi Kelly, How much is a serving? I saw you told another person there is a button that say estimated nutrition but I don’t see it.

      2. Hi Susan! We’ve updated the recipe card to include the estimated nutritional info underneath the recipe (instead of having to click a button). The nutritional info is for one serving.

      3. Hi Christine, Did you tried to substitute honey with other sweetener like Erythritol or Xylitol or…? I’m also interested to hear the result.

    1. Easy to make choc fro yo – just use cocoa powder and honey or sugar/sweetner – freeze yogurt on a tray and then blend with the cocoa and sweetner. 2 tblspns cocoa to each pint of yogurt. Peanut butter = good addition

  5. My husband loves frozen yogurt, me not so much. This blew my mind! We used frozen blueberries, and 0% lactose free Greek yogurt, the colour was amazing and it tasted incredible. it was so easy to do and delivered great results. This is a great recipe. I am keeping this in my arsenal.

  6. 5 stars
    Love this easy recipe !! Have made many different flavours. Recently made mango, strawberry and banana adding a bit of coconut milk for creaminess as I had fat free greek yogurt. Trying as homemade pops, and eating leftovers for breakfast :) Thank you !

  7. 5 stars
    I loved this quick frozen yogurt! I found that if I added 1 cup of yogurt the end result was creamier which I preferred. Original recipe is good when first made but once I froze the left overs it was too hard to dish out.

  8. 5 stars
    This is such a quick and yummy treat! Everyone in our family enjoyed it. We are looking forward to making lots of different flavors this summer.

  9. I was wondering can you use a ninja creami to create your frozen yogurt recipe? And can I use different extracts to create different flavors?

    1. Hi Rebecca! I’ve never used a Ninja Creami so I’m not sure, but if it functions like a high-powered blender or a food processor then it should work. And yes, you can use any combo of fruits, extracts, and flavors of yogurt. :)

    2. Did you try the Ninja creami? Did it turn out? I think if you blend the fruit and yogurt and stuff up good and freeze it, it should be ready to blend in the creami the next day. I’m going to try it.

  10. 5 stars
    We love this recipe. Last summer we took turns dreaming up our own combinations. Can’t wait to do it again this summer. Thank you so much for sharing it!

    1. Hi Mireille – The ingredient list and directions are listed above underneath the last image of this post. :)

    2. Are you able to use a blender and stil yield the same results? I hope so because I can’t wait to try this!

      1. Absolutely, Emily, as long as it’s a high-powered blender. :) And you’ll just have to scrape down the sides more frequently. Enjoy!

    1. Hi there! As per my notes above, this Greek frozen yogurt will last up to 1 month when stored properly in an airtight container in the freezer. It’ll freeze solid but if you remove it for a bit prior to scooping, it’ll soften back up.

  11. 5 stars
    Love it❣ So simple and tasteful❣
    I’m curious though about how many calories would be serving? I tried to figure it out but got burned out from the math
    and resolved to enjoy this treat.

    1. Hi Cynthia! You can find the estimated nutritional info by clicking on the purple button below the recipe that says ESTIMATED NUTRITION INFORMATION. :)

  12. OMG!! Your recipes changed my life! They are so simple, and fun, and I love them. They are great for when people come over, and my guests are always impressed.

  13. Very easy to make and yes ,though it tastes as nice the next day, eaten fresh creamy IS best. I had plums bananas strawberries and raspberries in the freezer so I ised them all. Have shared the recipe with several friends and family. Thank you!

      1. Hi Noreen – You can eat it immediately! Also, the frozen yogurt will freeze solid but if you remove it for a bit prior to scooping, it’ll soften back up. :)

      2. 5 stars
        Super good. My additions were a bit of fresh lemon juice to cut any bitterness of yogurt. Swerve instead if honey, and a little non fat milk to keep things moving nicely in the blender. I used frozen blueberries and mango. Was creamy and tasty with very low calories and no fat. No more fro yo shops for me. Thanks for this great alternative!

  14. I made this, but it didn’t work out. After frozen it was solid & not smooth, so could not scoop it. I softened it up some by sitting the container in the sink with hot water. Instead of 3 tbsps of honey, I reduced honey to 2 tbsps and I used fat free greek yogurt. Is that where I went wrong?

    1. Hi Gail! The consistency is smoothest when it’s enjoyed immediately after making it. Nonfat yogurt will make it less creamy.

  15. 5 stars
    Haven’t tried the recipe yet! Would this work with a nutribullet? I don’t want to go out and buy a food processor if I don’t have to. I can’t wait to try this recipe!!!!!!

  16. 5 stars
    Can’t wait to make this for my very young son (10 months). But wanted to ask if there is a substitution for the honey? He can’t have honey under 1. Thank you! :)

    1. Hi Barbara – You’ll definitely need a food processor or a high-powered blender for this recipe. :)

  17. 4 stars
    Thoroughly enjoyed this. Very refreshing! I used 2 1/4 cups raspberries and the rest, peaches as that’s what I had on hand. Perfect! Sweet enough for an adult but probably won’t be sweet enough for children. Also, I used 2% Fage and the consistency straight from the food processor was more like a thick slushy, so I served in stemless wine glasses with frappe-style straws. Perfect! The only reason I left off one star is because since I used the 2%, I was anticipating a frozen yogurt needing a spoon. Nothing wrong with what we ended up with though!

  18. 1 star
    Don’t plan on putting this in the freezer and treating yourself now and then as you would with a scoop of ice cream. This thing freezes so hard you won’t be able to get any out…..unless you let it sit for a while in the fridge or on the counter. Definitely not a quick treat after it is made.

    1. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe, Dustin. It’ll be the creamiest right when it’s made and then once frozen, it’ll freeze solid. I suggest removing it from the freezer and letting it sit for a bit prior to scooping so it’ll soften back up. :)

  19. 5 stars
    You can add some sweetened condensed milk to be a bit more decadent . Go easy on the vanilla until you taste it …I like mine with less. Peach seems to be the favorite around our house. Its so easy to make you should really make what you are using fresh.

  20. Hi! Absolutely adore the taste but having trouble with the consistency. Firstly I thought it was because I used Greek style yoghurt instead of actual Greek yoghurt but both times the consistency is icy and nearly impossible to remove from the container once frozen. Could it be because I am using a NutriBullet blender instead of a food processor? Thanks!

    1. Hi Jess! It’ll be the creamiest right when it’s made and then once frozen, it’ll be much more firm. I suggest removing it from the freezer and letting it sit for a bit prior to scooping so it’ll soften back up. Hope this helps!

  21. 5 stars
    I made this for my family and we all enjoyed it greatly. I will definitely be making this recipe again and possibly switching from the traditional frozen yoghurt to the one you have created. Excellent job!

  22. What food processor do you use? I don’t have one and want to be sure when I buy one I can make this recipe.

  23. Please explain “place in a food processor for 5 minutes.” What type of food processor? Food processor and blender are often used interchangeably but they are not the same. All blenders are not equal and all food processors probably vary significantly. The “food processor” seems to be the main ingredient for this recipe and since I am a rather ignorant male regarding food processing I could use some help in this area.

    1. Hi Dan – A food processor is the piece of equipment that has a larger bowl and blade than a blender. You can actually use either in this recipe, but if you do use a blender, you’ll need to scrape down the sides more frequently.

  24. 5 stars
    I made this to take to a dinner party where everyone is watching what they eat. It was a HUGE hit. I made a batch each of mixed berry, pineapple, and banana. I had to strain the seeds of the mixed berry. It really tastes like you’re ‘cheating’!

    Could this be done with citrus?

    Thanks!

    1. So glad you enjoyed it! I haven’t tried citrus, but you could start by swapping in half citrus (ie. frozen oranges) and see how the texture is.

      1. 5 stars
        Loved this! Best to make and eat right away. I added a tablespoon of freeze dried raspberry powder with frozen strawberries and a square of dark chocolate. Outstanding!

  25. Used frozen strawberries that were running out of freezer time. Excellent stuff. Will try freezing next batch in large- cube freezer tray. I have a couple. Easy to pull out one or two cubes at a time for a small snack. Using nectarines in the next batch.

    1. What a great idea! Reminds me of freezing homemade baby food! Funny how you forget ‘easy’ solutions! Thanks

  26. 5 stars
    Is there a way to make tart flavored frozen yogurt? If so what ingredients should I use for it? Thank you!

    1. Hi Paul – Because grapes have relatively thick skins, I would recommend you purée them first, strain, then continue with the recipe.

    1. Hi there! It’ll freeze solid so remove it for a bit prior to scooping and it’ll soften up.

  27. 5 stars
    Wow made this and absolutely loved it. Trying to find a way to make a vanilla version and choclate version. Then from there I could do choclate peanut butter. If you have had success with this let me know

    1. You can leave out the vanilla extract as it won’t drastically change the outcome, just the flavor a bit. :)

    1. Hi Jasmine – The total amount of frozen yogurt will vary based on how you level off each cup of fruit.

    1. Hi Kay! I’ve never tried that so I can’t say for certain what the results will be. Let me know if you give it a shot!

  28. 5 stars
    Just made this with blueberries and mango… AMAZING!! I will definitely be making this all the time.

    1. Hi there! The frozen yogurt will freeze solid but if you remove it for a bit prior to scooping, it’ll soften back up.

    1. Hi Patricia – A freezer-safe, airtight container really is the best way to store frozen yogurt to ensure the best taste/texture.

    1. Hi Kevan – To find the estimated nutritional info just click on the purple button below the recipe that says ESTIMATED NUTRITION INFORMATION. But keep in mind that the carb count will vary based on the type of frozen fruit you decide to use.

  29. 5 stars
    The recipe says “4 servings.” About how much frozen product do you wind up with after blending? Wondering what size container I need for storage.

  30. 5 stars
    I have been making exactly this for years but I usually call it sorbet! It is delicious but I don’t see how it can be called frozen yogurt with 4 cups of fruit and 1/2 c of yogurt! I have always used the yogurt to get a smooth consistency of the sorbet.

    1. Hi Regina! It’ll freeze solid but if you remove it for a bit prior to scooping, it’ll soften back up.

    1. Hi Alisa – Frozen fruit is essential for this recipe to reach the desired consistency. Fresh fruit will result in a less creamy and very thin texture. However, you could freeze fresh berries before use. Hope that helps!

    1. Hi George! I’ve never tried making this recipe without the yogurt, so I can’t say for certain how the texture would turn out if you substituted in skim milk. Let me know if you give it a shot!

  31. I want to feed this to young children. I’m concerned about the honey. Do you think maple syrup would work just as well?

    1. Definitely! You can also just use sugar or leave it out entirely if you’re OK with a more tart fro-yo :)

  32. 5 stars
    Hi! This is awesome. Thank you for sharing. But I would like to know if how many calories does this recipe has?

    1. Hi Shiela! Every recipe on the site includes estimated nutritional info. All you have to do is click on the purple button below the recipe that says ESTIMATED NUTRITION INFORMATION. :)

  33. 5 stars
    It seems that the ratio of yogurt to fruit is very light. Instead of only 1/2 cup yogurt, would increasing the amount of yogurt make it more creamy and less like a sherbet-yogurt? I guess the obvious answer is to try it, but I thought I would ask first.

    1. Hi there! I’ve never tried that so I can’t say for certain how the texture will be affected, but I think it’d still turn out great!

  34. 5 stars
    Okay, I never write reviews, but this is awesome. I don’t understand the bad reviews. I used 2% unsweetened Greek yogurt, and frozen strawberries. I added a little extra sweetener, but I honestly don’t think it needed it.

    I’m making this weekly. Thank you for such a good base recipe! I processed for 5 minutes and wow it’s so smooth and creamy.

  35. two questions. First, can i use a different sweetener, to make it lower carb? like Stevia or granulated coconut sugar or Sweet and low?
    and my processor doesn’t have a bowl (it’s a mini) is that OK? sorry if that’s a dumb question- the processor was a gift and I’m very new at cooking or baking! thanks!!

    1. Any sweetener will work! And when you say it doesn’t have a bowl, do you mean it’s like a blender jug? A mini food processor usually has a bowl, so that works :)

  36. 5 stars
    I don’t know why anyone would be having trouble with this recipe. It’s as basic as it gets. Regarding texture and sweetness, that’s always going to be a variable based on an individuals taste and the ratio’s that they choose to use…as well as the specific ingredients you choose. Different fruits have different textures. As do things like chocolate chips, granola etc. Even if Kelly hadn’t specifically said “You can add more or less honey based on the sweetness of the fruit and your own taste preferences,” this should be just basic common sense. Kelly, using your directions above I’ve made 4 or 5 different variations of fruits, chocolate, granola and other ingredients and every single time things turned out great. I will offer one bit of advice regarding texture. I “blended” my ingredients for about 5- 6 minutes so that I could get a smoother creamier texture. I would suggest anyone do this who is having issues with texture. Also be a little generous with the honey. It definitely makes a difference.

    Anyway, thanks Kelly for a very easy and superbly delicious recipe. :)

    I made the pineapple and toasted coconut and I couldn’t scoop it out of the container. Was dissapointed in texture (grainy and to hard to scoop out). I used lowfat greek yogurt. I did read on several web sites that you should strain the yogurt overnight (even if it is greek full fat) and also use gelatin to make it creamier. I bought the gelatin yesterday, now I need to find the website with the recipe. :>)

    1. Hi Barbara – I’ve never experienced this issue before so I’m not sure why it would’ve been grainy in texture.

  38. Hi Vicki,

    I was wondering if you had a way to make plain frozen yogurt with no fruit and also without an ice cream maker?

    I’ve been dying to try to make my own version of the Pinkberry “original” flavor frozen yogurt but I realize that it’s the frozen fruit in your recipe that does the freezing.

    Do you think freezing Greek yogurt in cubes in an ice tray then blending them might work?

    1. Hi Debbie – I’ve never tried freezing yogurt in cubes so I can’t say with certainty what the results would be. Sorry I can’t be of more help!

      1. Hi! I have the same question in regards to making this plain flavour without the fruit – is there an alternative you can suggest to the fruit ingredients that would have the same effect? Or do you think it would be fine to just eliminate the fruit and have the froyo result in the same frozen consistency?

      2. Hi Camile! You’d need some sort of frozen ingredient in order to chill the yogurt and thicken it. Otherwise, you could just stick any yogurt container in the fridge with a popsicle stick in it and have a plain yogurt pop :)

  39. We were invited to dinner tonight and I was asked to bring dessert. I made a rhubarb crisp and went looking for an easy frozen yogurt I made this recipe. Super easy and very tasty. Thank you for sharing this.

  40. Hi there,
    I was wondering if I can somehow include coconut milk into this recipe. Love the mix of greek yogurt + coco milk + fruit, but don’t know how the ratios would work.

    1. Hi Sasa – I haven’t tried that so I can’t say for certain what the results will be or the ratios needed. I’d be curious to hear your results if you try it!

    2. I believe you can make Greek yogurt with coconut milk. You might get want to do a web search (google it).

  41. Hi
    You suggest frozen fruit… can you buy fresh, freeze it yourself then make it? As I don’t think you can buy frozen sliced bananas or avacado… also can you skipputting the extract and honey in?

    1. Hi Hannah – Buying fresh fruit and freezing it would work great! And you can omit the extract and honey but you’ll end up with a less sweet frozen yogurt. Enjoy!

  42. Hi! Thank you for sharing the recipe! I made some yesterday and put it in the container and than in the freezer. Today I took it out and tried to scoop some out but it got really really frozen and so hard I can’t get any at all. My freezer is running on the lowest setting. Is it supposed to be thais way?

    1. Hi Yulia! It’ll be the creamiest right when it’s made and then once frozen, it’ll be much more firm.

    2. Let it sit at room temperature until it is soft enough to scoop, about 5 minutes or longer depending on the temperature of your kitchen.

    1. Hi Sharon – Frozen fruit is essential in this recipe to reach the desired consistency. Using fresh fruit will result in a less creamy and very thin texture.

  43. Hi Kelly! Just wondering if this recipe will transfer to a Vitamix blender or if the food processor is the best tool to use? Also, any recommendations on making a coffee flavored version of this?! Thanks!

    1. Hi Claire! A Vitamix should work! You’ll likely just need to scrape down the sides more frequently. And I don’t have a recipe for a coffee variety but I’ll add it to my recipe development list!

  44. Does the yogurt have to be plain Greek yogurt. I have non Greek vanilla yogurt or strawberry yogurt and I have strawberry Greek yogurt.

  45. I cannot find directions for 5-Minute Healthy Greek Yogurt. Got ingredients and suggestions but not “how to freeze” and “how long.” Please email me directions.

    1. Hi Vicki! As per my notes above, this Greek frozen yogurt will last up to 1 month when stored properly in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy!

    2. Vicki, the frozen fruit will cause the yogurt to freeze into a dessert when blended. It is VERY important to use frozen fruit for this reason. Hope that helped!

  46. Frozen banana “ice cream” one of my favorite things to make in the summer! I love the idea of switching it up with different frozen fruit and Greek yogurt.
