Easy, refreshing Strawberry frozen yogurt recipe made with strawberries, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and honey in a food processor or blender. No refined sugar makes this guiltless frozen yogurt a big YES all summer long!
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
Here is the quintessential summer frozen dessert. If you think you need an ice cream maker to make frozen yogurt, think again! You only need a few simple ingredients and a food processor or blender. You can use a conventional blender or high-speed blender. Simple combine the ingredients, blend until creamy, and freeze until the consistency is to your liking.
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Recipe Ingredients
- frozen or fresh strawberries
- Greek yogurt
- honey (or sweetener of choice)
- lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
The difference between frozen yogurt and ice cream
Ice cream uses cream as a primary ingredient before sugar and flavorings are added. Frozen yogurt uses cultured milk as the primary ingredient.
If you're looking for a scrumptious ice cream recipe, check out my super rich and creamy Triple Berry No Churn Ice Cream recipe. You don't even need an ice cream maker for it...bonus!!
Can you freeze yogurt?
Yes, you can freeze nonfat Greek yogurt too! It's a great way to extend the shelf-life of your yogurt. Believe me, I still forget to do this and sometimes find myself tossing half of a container full of product. Womp wommmp.
Does it change the consistency to freeze yogurt?
I have noticed that once frozen and thawed, the yogurt takes on a slightly grainy consistency, unlike yogurt that hasn't been frozen.
I'm 100% ok with this change because it's so much healthier for my diet than traditional milkfat ice cream. In fact, it's like the healthiest frozen dessert of all time. Who doesn’t want that?!
I like this article "How to Freeze Natural Yogurt" on SF Gate's Healthy Eating section. Great tips and considerations for freezing Greek yogurt.
How to make frozen yogurt
Step 1. Toss strawberries, yogurt, honey, and lemon juice into a food processor (or blender).
Step 2. Pulse until creamy; remove the lid during the process and scrape down the container sides as needed.
Step 3. Transfer frozen yogurt to a freezer-safe container and chill overnight, or serve immediately. It's hard to not eat this right when you make it. It's like soft serve strawberry heaven.

Lindsey M says
Pregnant and craving this! Do you think the recipe will freeze well with the 5% Fage milkfat yogurt variety? I imagine little specks of dark chocolate chips wouldn't hurt either
Traci Antonovich says
Hi Lindsey, yes to both 🙂 The texture gets creamier with higher fat yogurt...and chocolate chips sound divine 🙂 Enjoy!
