Is frozen yogurt healthy?
When you think “frozen yogurt”, you may think of the ice cream replacement in grocery stores or in ice cream shops. That product may not be that much healthier than ice cream because it still has sugar and other sweetener and additives.
The recipe I’m sharing today for frozen yogurt cookies is a Greek yogurt mixture healthier than ice cream because it is simply yogurt. Buy a Greek yogurt with no additives and you simply have yogurt (frozen) with fresh fruit!
How to Make Frozen Yogurt Cookies
- Combine the lemon and plain yogurt into a bowl.
- Line a cookie sheet tray with parchment paper and plop the yogurt on into round cookie shapes. (About ¼ cup per cookie.)
- Top the yogurt with diced strawberries.
- Place in the freezer for about 3-4 hours until firm. Then serve the frozen yogurt cookies!
Recipe Variations
- Don’t like greek yogurt? Use regular yogurt in the frozen yogurt cookies. But Greek yogurt is high in protein so is a perfect treat!
- Don’t like lemon? Use vanilla yogurt for a warmer flavor.
- Use your favorite fruit other than strawberries. Think blueberries, peaches or raspberries.
- Add nuts. Think chopped pistachios, walnuts or pecans.
- Buy a chocolate yogurt and drizzle with caramel syrup, chocolate chips, or top with chopped Oreo cookies. It’s a richer flavor, but so irresistible.
- Use this idea and try Courtney’s Sweets yogurt bark next!
- Make a s’mores version with chocolate yogurt, mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers.

What a great idea! I love it cause it’s similar to a homemade popsicle but bite size instead. Way less toddler mess this way. I’m definitely going to make these for my kids this summer. Thanks for sharing!
This looks like the perfect healthy toddler snack, especially for summer time. They can eat this outside on the porch instead of sugary popsicles.
