Why You’ll Love This Healthy Cherry Greek Frozen Yogurt

This frozen yogurt hits all the marks: it’s easy, healthy, and undeniably delicious. You can make it with fresh or frozen cherries, so it’s a year-round favorite. The natural protein from Greek yogurt makes it filling enough for a snack, while the fruit brings antioxidants and a splash of color to your bowl.

It also keeps well in the freezer and is endlessly customizable. Swap the cherries for berries, mango, or pineapple and you’ve got a whole new flavor. But honestly, once you taste this cherry version, you may not want to change a thing.

Can I Use Frozen Cherries Instead of Fresh Ones?

Yes, absolutely. Frozen cherries are actually ideal for this recipe. They’re picked at peak ripeness and chilled immediately, which locks in flavor and sweetness. They also help give the yogurt a soft-serve texture right out of the blender. Just make sure they’re pitted. If using fresh cherries, you’ll want to pit them first and maybe chill them for an hour or two for best blending.

Ingredients for the Healthy Cherry Greek Frozen Yogurt

To make this frozen yogurt, you only need a handful of ingredients that work together to create a rich, fruity, and smooth scoop.

Frozen Cherries bring the deep, sweet-tart flavor and vibrant color that make this yogurt sing. If you’re using fresh cherries, freeze them first for best texture.

Greek Yogurt is the creamy base that gives this dessert its rich texture. Full-fat or 2% both work well and add satisfying protein.

Honey adds just enough natural sweetness to enhance the cherry flavor without overpowering it. You can also use maple syrup if you prefer.

Vanilla Extract rounds out the flavors with a warm, cozy note.

Lemon Juice brightens the overall taste and balances the sweetness.

How To Make the Healthy Cherry Greek Frozen Yogurt

Step 1: Blend Everything Together

In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the frozen cherries, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.

Step 2: Taste and Adjust

Give the mixture a quick taste. Add more honey if you like it sweeter, or a touch more lemon juice for extra brightness. Blend again briefly to combine.

Step 3: Freeze to Firm

Transfer the blended yogurt into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 2 hours if you want a scoopable texture. You can also enjoy it immediately as soft-serve.

Step 4: Serve It Up

Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy as is, or top with fresh cherries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of dark chocolate.

How to Store and Serve Your Cherry Frozen Yogurt

This recipe makes enough for about 4 servings, perfect for a small family dessert or a healthy treat throughout the week. If storing, keep it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before scooping for the best texture.

You can also portion it into individual cups for quick grab-and-go servings. Great for kids’ lunches, mid-afternoon pick-me-ups, or late-night cravings without the guilt.
