A refreshing, high-protein frozen treat, this Ninja Creami Strawberry Frozen Yogurt is made with juicy strawberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and just a touch of natural sweetener. It’s a light and tangy dessert that’s as easy to make as it is satisfying to eat. Whether I’m looking for a healthy snack or a summer cool-down, this froyo hits the spot every time.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and halved
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjusted to taste)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
I start by blending the strawberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Then I stir in the Greek yogurt until it’s fully incorporated.
I pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami container and level the top.
The container goes into the freezer for at least 24 hours.
After freezing, I process it in the Ninja Creami using the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Frozen Yogurt” setting.
If the texture turns out crumbly, I add 1–2 tablespoons of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and re-spin until smooth and creamy.
I serve it immediately or return it to the freezer for later.

Variations
I sometimes use mixed berries instead of just strawberries for a more complex flavor.
To make it completely dairy-free, I substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt.
For added texture, I like folding in chopped fruit or dark chocolate chips after spinning.
When I want it extra tangy, I increase the lemon juice slightly.
A dash of cinnamon or basil gives it a fun twist.
Storage/Reheating
I store any leftovers right in the Ninja Creami container, sealed tightly, in the freezer. When I’m ready for more, I let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes or re-spin it in the Ninja Creami with a splash of milk to revive that creamy texture.
FAQs
How long does this frozen yogurt last in the freezer?
I keep it for up to 1 month in the freezer, sealed tightly. Just remember to re-spin if it gets too firm.
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but I prefer Greek yogurt for the added protein and creaminess. Regular yogurt makes it a bit icier.
What if I don’t have a Ninja Creami?
This recipe is designed specifically for the Ninja Creami. If I don’t have one, I can try blending and freezing, but the texture won’t be quite the same.
Can I make it sweeter?
Absolutely. I adjust the honey or maple syrup to taste, especially if the strawberries aren’t very sweet.
Do I need to thaw the container before spinning?
Nope! I spin it straight from the freezer in the Ninja Creami—no thawing needed.
Conclusion
This Ninja Creami Strawberry Frozen Yogurt is my go-to when I want something sweet, refreshing, and guilt-free. With minimal ingredients and effort, it’s a healthier dessert option that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture. Whether it’s for myself or to share, I always enjoy making and eating this creamy, fruity delight.
