Deliciously light and refreshing, this Strawberry Frozen Yogurt will be your new, healthy, favorite treat! No ice cream maker? Don't worry, I provide easy instructions to make this delightful dessert without one!
I was SUPER excited to play with my new Cuisinart Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt Maker that I won from My Judy the Foodie! First off, I know everyone says this , but I seriously NEVER win anything.
So when Shari (the face behind My Judy the Foodie) emailed me to tell me that I was the lucky winner of her giveaway, I was SHOCKED! And then when she told me it was for a Cuisinart Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt Maker, it really was my lucky day!
I do realize that not everyone owns an ice cream maker so I also share just how easy it is to make without one!
If you are looking for more yummy frozen desserts, you will love this Matcha Coconut Ice Cream, No Bake Frozen Yogurt Almond Butter Cups and definitely these Chocolate Covered Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt Bites!
All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!
Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!
Why You Should Make This Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
With three little (always hungry) boys, what could possibly be any more perfect? It is so easy to use, even my 2 year old can help.
I started with a basic frozen yogurt recipe. I wanted to use fresh strawberries from our local farmers market and only used 3 Tablespoons of sugar in the entire recipe (or you can use Monk fruit as stated in the recipe for a sugar free option).
Compare that to Breyer's or Edy's! My frozen yogurt has just 4 INGREDIENTS!
The possibilities are endless with this machine. Being that I can now make my own ice cream, frozen yogurt or frozen treat I know that I am in charge of all of the ingredients, especially the sugar.
Each serving contains around 130 calories, 16 grams of protein and only 10 grams of carbs. You can enjoy this yummy strawberry frozen yogurt guilt free, perfect for whenever that sweet craving happens.
Recipe Tips
The possibilities for flavors are endless- fresh fruits, like pineapple, mango, tart sweet cherries. My kids want me to make cookies and cream, chocolate chip cookie dough, mint chocolate chip and funfetti.
My youngest actually swirled peanut butter on top which might sound weird but it is one of those things that you shouldn't knock it until you try it. Strawberry and peanut butter is like a match made in heaven.
My middle guy added mini chocolate chips and loved it. My oldest just wanted rainbow sprinkles so he spread them on the bottom, stopped out ice cream and put it on top of the sprinkles and then put even more sprinkles on top.
I applaud all of their creativity and the most important part (besides the fact that it tastes delicious) is that they had so much fun in the process.
I like to use this recipe for strawberry frozen yogurt as a base for all types of yummy treats. Get creative and use whatever additions or toppings that you want. I promise you can not go wrong.

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond milk I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk but you can use whatever milk you want
- ¼ cup Monk fruit
- 4 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups strawberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Place strawberries in a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, mix the milk and sugar until the sugar is dissolved (about 1 to 2 minutes on low speed if using a mixer).
- Stir in the yogurt and strawberry puree.
- If using an ice cream maker: Freeze according to manufacturers instructions- minimum 2 hours until it hardens. (I spooned it into a tall, upright plastic container to place in the freezer).
- If you aren't using an ice cream maker: Place mixture in a loaf pan or square baking dish and freeze for 30-60 minutes, making sure to stir a few times.

I did make this but not in an ice cream maker. I froze it but it turned out like a brick! My grandson put it into the microwave to thaw it out and it's delicious! I sent some home with him and I put mine in the fridge! Right now, I'm just drinking it! lol
