During my university days, my friends and I were on a mission to discover the best froyo spot. Sad to say, it’s been years since I went to one, but that’s only because it’s one of the easiest desserts to make at home. For this recipe, I kept it simple so the natural tanginess of the yogurt shines. When paired with sweetener and vanilla, you’re left with a sweet, creamy yogurt that could rival the best yogurt shops in town!
Why I love this recipe
Made with only 3 ingredients. I looked up the ingredients to plain frozen yogurt at my local froyo spot, and let me tell you, the ingredient list was a mile long! So easy to customize. The base recipe is simple by design, so you can add whatever extracts or toppings you desire. You don’t need an ice cream maker. While I prefer using one as it yields a creamier texture, you can just as easily make it in your Ninja Creami or in a blender. Very healthy. Each serving packs 8 grams of protein for under 100 calories and 3 grams of net carbs.
Ingredients needed
Greek yogurt. I tested fat-free and traditional Greek yogurt, and both turned out delicious. Keep in mind that non-fat varieties tend to contain a few extra carbs. Granulated sweetener. I recommend using allulose as it dissolves easily without becoming grainy. Monk fruit or erythritol can also be used, but make sure the sweetener is VERY well mixed in. Vanilla extract. Optional, but I recommend it if you’d prefer a light vanilla flavor.

Arman’s recipe tips
Use a flavored yogurt. When I want a more pronounced vanilla flavor, I’ll use vanilla-flavored yogurt. Just watch the carb content as some flavored yogurt contains added sugar. Want to use a Ninja Creami? Pour the yogurt base into Creami pint containers, freeze for at least 4 hours, then blend on the ‘Frozen Yogurt’ or ‘Light Ice Cream’ setting. If needed, add a splash of milk and re-blend. Make it dairy-free. Use fermented coconut yogurt. Keep in mind it’ll have a fairly pronounced coconut flavor.
Storage instructions
To store: Frozen yogurt should be stored in a freezer-friendly or plastic container with the lid on. Frozen yogurt will keep well for up to 2 months. Let it thaw for 15 minutes before serving. As I mentioned earlier, you can make this recipe without needing an ice cream maker. Here’s how: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour it into several small containers (ice cube trays work great) and freeze until solid. Place the frozen mixture back into the blender and blend with a splash of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Chocolate. Add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and fold through 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips. Strawberry. Use a strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt OR add 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries.
