This strawberry Greek frozen yogurt is one of my go-to summer desserts when I’m craving something sweet, fruity, and refreshing.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s incredibly easy, healthy, and bursting with real strawberry flavor. It’s made with wholesome ingredients and doesn’t need any special equipment. I find it perfect for summer get-togethers, weeknight desserts, or just when I want a cold treat without the guilt. Plus, it’s naturally high in protein thanks to the Greek yogurt.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. I start by blending the strawberries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor until smooth.

2. Then, I pour the puree into a mixing bowl with the Greek yogurt and stir until everything is well combined.

3. I transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or shallow container, cover it tightly, and freeze it for at least 4 hours or until it’s firm.

4. Before serving, I let it sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften slightly. I love topping it with fresh chopped strawberries for extra texture and flavor.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 servings and takes just 10 minutes of prep time. I let it freeze for at least 4 hours, but sometimes I prepare it the night before to let it set overnight for a firmer scoop.

Variations

When I want to switch things up, I try:

• Swapping strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, or a berry mix

• Adding a spoonful of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness

• Mixing in mini chocolate chips or crushed graham crackers before freezing

• Swirling in strawberry jam for a ripple effect

Storage/Reheating

I keep my frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer, where it stays fresh for up to 2 weeks. Before serving, I let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes so it softens just enough to scoop easily. I also like portioning it into smaller containers for quick, single-serve access.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes, I’ve done this many times. I let the strawberries thaw slightly before blending to get a smoother texture.

How do I make it sweeter?

If I want a sweeter dessert, I’ll add 1–2 tablespoons of honey, maple syrup, or a sugar-free sweetener to the strawberry blend.

Why is my frozen yogurt too icy?

This usually happens if I use low-fat yogurt or don’t blend thoroughly. I always go for full-fat yogurt and make sure the puree is silky smooth.

Can I churn this in an ice cream maker?

Absolutely. While I love the no-churn method, churning it in an ice cream maker gives an even creamier result.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes. I’ve had great results using coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt—it gives a slight tropical twist that pairs well with strawberries.

Conclusion

This strawberry Greek frozen yogurt is a simple and satisfying dessert I turn to again and again. It’s refreshing, full of flavor, and easy to customize. Whether I’m serving it at a summer barbecue or keeping it all to myself for a weeknight treat, it never disappoints.
