Homemade Peach Frozen Yogurt

I'm really excited about this Healthy Peach Frozen Yogurt because not only is it delicious and easy to make, it's healthy too!

Fresh peaches are a summer treat. However, this recipe uses frozen peaches, so you can enjoy this healthy peach dessert all year round.

To make this cool, refreshing peach frozen yogurt, you simply blend frozen peaches, Greek yogurt, honey and lemon juice in a food processor. In a few minutes, you'll have a creamy, healthy frozen peach yogurt that will satisfy your sweet tooth.

This recipe is so easy and no ice cream maker is required! Your kids will also love this frozen peach dessert. It's the perfect healthy snack for kids. They'll love eating it and you'll feel good knowing that you're giving them a wholesome and nutritious treat.

What's the Difference Between Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt?

Both ice cream and frozen yogurt are creamy frozen desserts that are made with dairy and sugar. However, the type of dairy base is where the difference lies.

Ice cream is made with cream while frozen yogurt is made with yogurt, which is cultured milk. Some ice creams can also have egg yolks incorporated into the recipe.

Ounce for ounce, frozen yogurt typically has less calories and saturated fat than ice cream. In addition, frozen yogurt has the benefit of containing gut-friendly probiotics.

However, some store brands of frozen yogurt can have a lot of sugar- sometimes even more than ice cream. This extra sugar is to compensate for the tangy flavor of the yogurt.

Doctor's Tips

Forget buying flavored froyo from the store- this homemade peach frozen Greek yogurt is a lot healthier! It's made with just a few simple ingredients- peaches, Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice.

Some store bought brands of frozen yogurt can have a lot of sugar. But with this homemade peach frozen yogurt, you can control the amount of sugar.

Peaches are packed with nutrients. They're a very good source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant. They also provide several other nutrients like fiber, vitamin A, potassium, and niacin. 

I blend frozen peaches with Greek yogurt to make this tasty dessert. Greek yogurt is a superfood and is so versatile. It adds a creamy texture and rich flavor to many dishes. It also adds a boost of protein, calcium and probiotics, which are beneficial for your digestive health. 

I use Greek yogurt in so many recipes from popsicles to banana bread to sauces. To learn more, read my blog post about the health benefits of Greek yogurt.

Ingredients

• Peaches- you'll need frozen peaches for this recipe
• Greek yogurt- you can use plain or flavored yogurt; you'll have to adjust the sweetness if using plain
• Honey or other sweetener like agave or maple syrup- the liquid sweetener is not just for sweetness, it also helps prevent ice crystals from forming and keeps the frozen yogurt soft
• Lemon juice- for brightness

Equipment

You'll need a food processor to make this peach frozen yogurt. I use this Cuisinart 11-cup food processor. If you're making a smaller batch of frozen yogurt, you can use a mini food processor.

My mini food processor is one of my most used kitchen items! I use it for everything from chopping vegetables to making sauces to making frozen desserts like this.

How To Make Healthy Peach Frozen Yogurt

• Step 1- Put frozen peaches in the bowl of a food processor.
• Step 2- Add the yogurt and honey (or other sweetener).
• Step 3- Blend until smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.
• Step 4- Serve immediately or freeze for a couple of hours for a firmer texture. Then, scoop and enjoy!
