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.

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.

Nora Thomas says
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?
MOMables - Laura says
Hi Nora, absolutely. Fresh fruit is perfectly acceptable. Make sure to consume the yogurt within 4 days.

Thank you SO much! I’ve been searching the web for hours! Also, I’ve been jumping from website to website and I thought I would NEVER find something. But then I come across you and I find that it’s PERFECT! Thank you so much, you are a blessing

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.
Laura says
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!

Homemade yogurt? Can you share how?
Laura says
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.
Tammy says
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.
Kerry says
What brand greek yogurt do you buy? I’m still trying to find a good one.
