Chocolate raspberry: Use chocolate protein powder for a rich treat.
Toppings: Add some crunch with large coconut chips or maple syrup candied pecans.
How To Make Frozen Protein Yogurt

Step 3: Portion the protein frozen yogurt mixture into a bowl and mix in any additional toppings you like.
Step 4: Serve immediately.
Expert Tips
If you use a Greek yogurt you may need a dash of almond milk to get it to mix. However, don’t add more than a tablespoon, or you’ll have a smoothie and not frozen yogurt.
A pea protein powder will absorb more than a brown rice or coconut protein powder. So, you may need to adjust a bit depending on what you have..
Whey protein powder will work in this recipe as will traditional yogurt.
To enjoy it: Remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Then, reblend until it’s thick again. The texture won’t be completely the same, but it’ll be good.
Store it: You can store extra protein frozen yogurt in the freezer for a few weeks. However, it will crystallize a bit.
Frozen Protein Yogurt FAQs
Greek Yogurt has the highest protein and is thicker than traditional yogurt. Nowadays, there is also a vegan Greek yogurt that resembles to traditional one with added protein it to make it extra thick.
Frozen protein yogurt can be made with both whey protein powder as well as vegan protein powder. Since vegan protein powders tend to absorb more liquid, you may need to adjust the ratio of yogurt in the recipe.
Though an ice cream machine is fun to have on hand, it's not needed! What you do need is a high-powered blender and frozen fruit. Skip the liquids, and your frozen yogurt will come out ultra-thick just like store-bought.

I made this for my kids and they loved it. I didn't tell them it was healthy because then they wouldn't eat it, lol. But as a mom, I appreciated that I could make something healthy and delicious for them. I will make this again, for sure!
fitasamamabear says
Haha I do that all the time!
Belinda says
I always struggle to get enough protein in, so my doctor suggested I start using a protein powder. I was rather apprehensive about it and definitely didn't expect to find recipes that make it totally delicious. But here I am, enjoying this frozen yogurt several times a week and feeling great! Since I love cinnamon, sometimes I add a little extra.
fitasamamabear says
Wahoo!! Glad I gave you something you enjoy eating and still can hit your goals1
