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.
