Hi Bold Bakers!
Strawberry & Banana always pair so well together, in harmony you might say. This Strawberry Banana Frozen Yogurt is made using just a handful of ingredients. It’s made using all natural sugars that come from fruit and honey. I use frozen strawberries and frozen bananas which makes this frozen yogurt thick and creamy. The strawberry brings its sweetness and that vibrant red color that makes it look so pretty.
Frozen Yogurt is so many things. It’s an after school treat, a late night snack and a dessert that scratches your sweet tooth itch. It’s not limited to only one meal time since it can be enjoyed any time of the day.
No Machine Homemade Frozen Yogurt means not having to worry about not owning an expensive ice cream machine. I like to make recipes that are accessible to everyone as much as I can. I don’t own an ice cream machine and I’m guessing a lot of you don’t either. What I do own is a food processor. My food processor is used for a multitude of recipes in my kitchen and I love it. There’s not much it can’t do so when I tried to make my own version of frozen yogurt in it I knew it was up to the challenge. The results are a smooth and creamy Frozen Yogurt that is second to none.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips
- You can use low-fat or fat-free yogurt to make this, but full-fat yogurt will give you the creamiest texture.
- The fruit adds natural sweetness but if your fruit is not at peak ripeness be sure to taste and adjust the amount of honey if needed.
- You can use vanilla or strawberry yogurt for this but be sure to leave out the honey since these yogurts are already sweetened.
- You can make this with fresh, unfrozen fruit. Just increase the freezing time to 6 hours.
- This recipe is so healthy you could eat it for breakfast! If you like the idea of this, try our Mango Coconut Breakfast Ice Cream or Chocolate Breakfast Ice Cream!

Strawberry Banana Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) frozen strawberries
- 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) frozen banana (about 2 bananas)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or agave)
- ¼ cup (2 oz/57 g) plain yogurt (Greek, non-fat or full fat)
- ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, bananas, honey (or agave), yogurt and lemon juice into a food processor and process for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice, until smooth, creamy and lump free.
- Taste and adjust the honey and lemon juice, if needed, and process again briefly.
- Transfer it to an airtight freezable container and freeze for a minimum 4 hours but preferably overnight. Store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Delicious! Only change was lime juice instead of lemon (didn’t have any.) I just popped it into the freezer but I licked the bowl.
I just love, love this recipe! I am in Costa Rica where bananas are plentiful and get ripe faster than we can eat them. And this is a great way to use them. I fool around with whatever additional fruit I have. I just did a pineapple, banana, & strawberry (1 cup of each) and adjusted the other ingredients to be appropriate. I use agave since I don’t care for honey and I also added a splash of vanilla! The result is quick, healthy and so delish! Thanks Gemma!
Hi Gemma, can I use this recipe in my ice cream/yogurt machine? Or would I need to make adjustments? Cheers!
While this did taste good, I found it FAR from scoopable, making it nearly impossible to eat. I couldn’t even get a regular spoon in there to eat out of a tub. I had to put it in the fridge overnight to thaw a good way before I could come remotely close to scooping any out. I don’t know what I did, but I’m sad about it.
Hi Gemma, I wanted a quick snack to keep in my fridge for whenever i feel hungry, so I decided to make this. Too bad it didn’t stay in my fridge for too long because it was so tasty that i finished it in 2 minutes 😁
Wow this recipe is amazing! It’s so simple and easy but it tastes incredibly delicious and its as creamy as a frozen yogurt can be. I don’t have a large food processor so I made mine in the blender. It was obvious to me that I need to buy a big food processor before I make my next batch. But I still managed to make it in the blender, I just had to let my fruit soften a bit. Thanks Gemma!
Hi! What does the lemon juice do for the froyo?
Just made this and it’s delicious 😋 xx
Hi Gemma,
Thank you for the recipe. I tried it and it tasted amazing. Although I liked it the way it is but I was wondering if I can replace honey with condensed milk? Does that count as liquid sugar?
Can you show nutritional info for your frozen yogurt?
