This recipe for fruit yogurt is so simple and made with only 3 simple ingredients!

Learn how to make this Strawberry Fruit Yogurt Recipe at home for a healthy treat your kids can enjoy at home or school!

Fresh Fruit Yogurt with Strawberries

I’ve never been a big fan of yogurt, especially those filled with sugar and artificial colorings. Recently, though, I needed to buy Greek yogurt for baking. I decided to add fresh strawberries to the leftovers and have it for an afternoon snack with my boys. We were immediately sold!

Once you try this Fruit Yogurt Recipe, plain yogurt will never be the same. The recipe is soooo simple! You will be able to make your own flavored yogurt with real fruit and none of that high fructose corn syrup or mystery ingredients found in the store-bought yogurts.

It’s healthy, delicious, and feels like a treat! This time, I’m using strawberries but I’ll share with you other fruit ideas that can also hold their texture great.

Ingredients for Fruit Yogurt

When you have yogurt and fruit, you don’t need any weird ingredients to make this delicious fruit yogurt recipe! Check what you need to know:

  • Strawberries: my go-to fruit for this recipe, but you can use others. More on this below.
  • Plain Greek yogurt: you can also use your own homemade yogurt.
  • Honey or maple syrup: optional for a touch of sweetness.
  • Toppings: your favorites! I like adding toasted almonds or granola.

Using Other Fresh Fruits

You could always swap the strawberries for another fruit that’s easy to mash, like sliced peaches or ripe mango. I don’t recommend bananas since they are likely to brown when stored in the ridge and make this snack a little unappealing.

How to Make Strawberry Fruit Yogurt

Got your ingredients and a bowl? Good! Let’s make this delicious Strawberry Fruit Yogurt Recipe in no time:

  1. Mash strawberries
    Use a bowl and a fork to mash the strawberries and release their natural juices.
  2. Combine
    Add Greek yogurt and combine. If you want to make it sweeter, add honey or maple syrup to taste. You can also make individual yogurt cups by placing the mashed fruit in 8-ounce jars and topping them with yogurt.

How to Serve Homemade Strawberry Yogurt

Sometimes I add something crunchy on the top, like granola, toasted almonds, or chopped nuts, and I have a wonderful afternoon snack my kids and I eat right from the bowl.

You can also use this fruit yogurt recipe to make a parfait and pack it for lunch in a thermos as a healthy and sweet side. Need something to serve with breakfast? This yogurt is also a great side on busy mornings!

How to Pack Homemade Strawberry Yogurt for Lunch

You can pack this strawberry yogurt for lunch in small containers and freeze it overnight. Pop it into your packed lunch the next day and it will be cold and thawed by lunchtime. I found these molds on Amazon, but any small container does the trick.

Ingredients

  • 5 strawberries , mashed
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Drizzle of honey or maple syrup, optional
  • Toppings: toasted almonds, pecans, or granola

Instructions

Combine:

  • In a bowl, mash the strawberries with a fork to release their natural juice and sweetness. Add in Greek yogurt and stir until combined.
  • Test for sweetness and add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to your desired sweetness. Stir to combine.

Store:

  • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. 

Notes

If you want to turn this into individual yogurt cups, instead of mixing everything in one large bowl, add the mashed fruit to the bottom of an 8-ounce jar, top with yogurt, and seal. When ready to serve, drizzle with the honey, and enjoy!

    I’m new to home made yogurt which I especially enjoy with fresh berries. Is it OK to add fresh unsweetened berries to the bottom of of jars, then add yogurt and cap to store in the fridge?

      Hi Nora, absolutely. Fresh fruit is perfectly acceptable. Make sure to consume the yogurt within 4 days.

    I just strain plain yogurt and ouila! Greek yogurt! I think it might even be cheaper that way? Or go even cheaper and make your own plain yogurt, then strain it to make Greek.

      I make my own and then strain. I love the convenience of being able to just buy one sometimes… But I do what Alison wrote make my own fruit flavored bc I don’t want all the extra sugars thanks for the link!

          Hi Tammy! I have a small yogurt maker. It’s not that expensive.. I think around $30 on Amazon. I am able to make delicious plain yogurt in a few minutes and then I let it culture overnight. To this yogurt I add fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup…the possibilities are endless.

            Do you use the yogurt packets available online or how do you actually make it, what ingredients do I need. I looked it up and would be interested in getting one, just not sure how to use it. Sorry for all the questions, homemade yogurt is just new to me?

    Kerry—We’ve been using Fage greek yogurt in the 2% or total. It’s so thick and creamy.
