Did you know that you can make fresh fruit yogurt at home?

This recipe is so simple and gives you the ability 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.

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

We were immediately sold and once you give this recipe a try, plain yogurt will never be the same.

Ingredients for Fruit Yogurt

All you need are three simple ingredients to make this homemade fruit yogurt:

Berries, strawberries or blueberries
Plain Greek yogurt
Honey or maple syrup, optional

You could always swap the berries 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 Fruit Yogurt

Got your ingredients? Good! Let’s assemble.

Mash the berries in a large bowl.
Add the yogurt and stir to combine.
Taste test for sweetness, and add honey or maple syrup if needed. Stir once more.
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

So far, our favorite way to enjoy it has been by adding fresh fruit, but you could also top the yogurt with natural almond butter, granola, cereal, or nuts.

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!

Add in a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness and you have a wonderful afternoon snack and packed lunch option.

Another option for enjoying this yogurt is to put it in a small container and freeze overnight. Pop it into your packed lunch the next day and it will be cold and thawed by lunch time. We found these molds on Amazon, but any small container does the trick.
