Healthy Strawberry Yogurt

This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Please read my disclosure.

My healthy strawberry yogurt is a game changer for a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack. I love that it uses real strawberries with no artificial flavorings or added sugar, and it’s gluten-free and ready in just 5 minutes.

I know you can find strawberry yogurt at the store, but most of them are loaded with sugar and artificial flavors. I wanted a healthier option for my family, naturally sweetened by fresh strawberries, and with just 3 ingredients, this one has quickly become a go-to recipe at our house.

Greek yogurt and strawberries are the perfect combination in my book. My kids love the pretty pink color and creamy texture, and they do not even notice there is no added sugar. I also love that this recipe makes the perfect base for a heartier meal with all my favorite pairings. Honestly, it is the best strawberry yogurt I have ever made. This is another recipe I enjoy that uses strawberries, just like my strawberry chia seed jam or my vegan strawberry milk.

🥘 Ingredients

I love that this strawberry yogurt recipe has such a short and sweet ingredient list! You only need three simple ingredients for an easy yogurt that anyone can easily make.

Strawberries: I blend the strawberries until smooth, and when I mix them with the yogurt, it gives all the amazing strawberry flavor and a natural sweetness.

Greek Yogurt: I like to use unsweetened Greek yogurt to keep this strawberry yogurt sugar-free.

Vanilla Extract: I add a little vanilla extract to give this yogurt extra flavor. You could also use vanilla Greek yogurt, but I make sure it has no added sugar.

Substitutions

Berries: I like that you can swap in any berries if you want a different flavor. Blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries all work perfectly in this yogurt.

Yogurt: I love using Greek yogurt for the extra protein, but I can use a different yogurt if I prefer. I usually go for a thicker plain yogurt since the strawberries will thin it out, and while sour cream could technically work, it’s tangier and not as healthy.

Extract: I like to customize the flavor by adding a little almond extract or even a touch of lemon extract.

🔪 How To Make

Making homemade strawberry yogurt without sugar is so easy! It only takes three simple steps and about 5 minutes, and then I either store the pink yogurt for later or enjoy it right away.

Prep Strawberries: I wash and dry the strawberries with a paper towel, slice off the tops, and then cut them in half.

Blend: I transfer the sliced strawberries to my food processor and blend them until smooth.

Combine Ingredients: Next, I add all the wet ingredients including vanilla, yogurt, and strawberries, and blend everything together until it’s fully combined

Store or Serve: I usually transfer the yogurt to an airtight container for storage, or sometimes I just serve it right away with my favorite toppings.

📖 Variations 

I have tried so many variations of this strawberry yogurt, and these are the ones I keep coming back to:

Sweet Morning Banana: I add half of a ripe banana to the blender with the strawberries for extra sweetness. The banana makes the yogurt smooth and perfect for busy mornings.

Tropical Coconut Scoop: I stir in 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut after blending for a soft tropical taste. My kids enjoy this version with a few extra pieces of fresh fruit on top.

Protein Power Cup: I mix in one tablespoon of unsweetened protein powder to make the yogurt more filling. This is the version I reach for when I want a quick and nourishing snack.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

I like to serve this sugar-free strawberry yogurt with my favorite toppings or just enjoy it as it is. This homemade yogurt is great for breakfast or as a healthy snack. Here are a few more ideas I like to try:

With Toppings: This yogurt with strawberry puree is already a tempting snack, but I love adding toppings to make it even better. I like to sprinkle on high protein granola, vegan chocolate chips, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, my strawberry crunch topping, or even extra fresh fruit.

As a Topping: I love using this yogurt as a topping for all kinds of breakfast foods. I like to spoon it over my nutella waffles, and my kids over their oat flour pancakes, or even mix it into overnight oats. Yum!

🧊 Storage Directions

Refrigerating: I transfer the yogurt to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Freezing: I like to freeze the strawberries and yogurt for a homemade frozen yogurt, or I let it thaw back to its creamy consistency. I also sometimes spoon it into ice cube molds for an easy, ready-to-go addition to smoothies
