Ingredients Needed

• plain greek yogurt – can’t have frozen yogurt without the yogurt! I prefer using full-fat, plain Greek yogurt, which is thicker and a bit more rich. It’s what makes this frozen dessert super creamy. It also provides a good amount of protein. My favorite type of yogurt to use is the Fage 5% plain Greek yogurt.
• frozen bananas – this acts as the natural sweetener in this recipe and provides additional creaminess. I like to peel and chop the banana before freezing which makes for easier blending. You can also follow my full guide on how to freeze bananas.

How to Make

This banana frozen yogurt recipe couldn’t get any easier to make!

Blend: Add your yogurt and frozen banana chunks to a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse/process until smooth and creamy. This usually takes 4-5 minutes in the food processor. You may need to turn off the motor and stir the mixture a few times while processing so it blends evenly.

Serve: Once smooth and creamy, add to bowls and enjoy right away. If you want it to be scoopable, you can freeze the mixture for about an hour. Bring it out of the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes before scooping.

Tips For Success

1. Chop your bananas: Make sure your frozen bananas are chopped into chunks before adding them to your food processor or blender to help them blend easier.
2. Stir while blending: While blending the ingredients you may need to turn off the motor of your food processor or blender and stir the mixture a few times while processing so it blends evenly and gets all the frozen chunks!
3. Protect from freezer burn: Add a layer of parchment paper or wax paper on top of the frozen yogurt under the lid of the airtight container when storing in the freezer to prevent freezer burn.

Flavor Variations

There are sooo many ways to get creative with this banana frozen yogurt and create different flavors. Here are some ideas to get you started.

• Chocolate – add in 1/2-1 Tablespoon cacao powder or cocoa powder plus chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a chocolate-y treat!
• Berry – add in frozen berries during blending and/or top with fresh berries for serving! Or just try my blueberry frozen yogurt! I definitely want to try a strawberry variation soon with frozen strawberries.
• Tropical – add frozen mango or pineapple chunks of swap it for the frozen banana for a tropical variation. And top it with homemade toasted coconut flakes for more tropical flavor.
• Vanilla – add vanilla bean paste from 1/2 – 1 vanilla bean pod or vanilla extract for vanilla goodness.
• Nutty – blend in a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter and drizzle extra on top for a rich, nutty flavor.
• Honey – if you want some added sweetness add a drizzle of honey before blending or as a topping.
• Cinnamon – add a dash of cinnamon to the mix for a warm, spiced flavor.
• Matcha – mix in 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder for a unique, earthy flavor and an antioxidant boost.

How to Store

Frozen banana yogurt can be stored for about one month in a sealed container in the freezer.

When you’re ready to enjoy it again, let it sit out at room temperature for a few minutes to soften up before scooping. It’s as simple as that!
