Ingredients You Need
Coconut yogurt: any non-dairy yogurt will work but coconut yogurt is thin enough that it helps the frozen fruit mix.
If you use something like a Greek yogurt you may need a splash of almond milk.
Vegan vanilla protein powder: the kind of protein you choose will make a difference to the frozen yogurt recipe. Learn more on how to choose a protein powder.
Flavors: add a pinch of cinnamon and salt to make the burst of sweet flavors come alive.
Frozen mango: this is what makes the protein frozen yogurt ultra creamy and held together.
Frozen raspberries: they do have to frozen so that the frozen yogurt is thick.

Substitutions And Variations
The best part about this high-protein frozen yogurt is that there are so many different ways to make it.
Tropical frozen yogurt: replace half the mangos with frozen bananas for a tropical twist. A dash of coconut extract wouldn’t hurt either.
Triple berry: you can use a mix of any frozen berries you like as well as swirl some fresh ones into the finished frozen yogurt.
Chocolate raspberry: use chocolate protein powder for a rich treat.
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 (more below).
Whey protein powder will work in this recipe as will traditional yogurt.
Store it: you can store extra protein frozen yogurt in the freezer for a few weeks. However, it will crystalize a bit.
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.

Which Vegan Protein Powder To Choose
This high protein frozen yogurt uses Botanica Vanilla Protein Powder.
Though you can use other powders, you need to make sure it is a vegan protein to achieve the proper consistency (learn more about how to choose the perfect protein powder for your goals)
However, a vegan protein powder that is solely pea protein-based means you’ll need to make some adjustments.
Botanica Perfect Protein is a unique blend of quinoa, coconut, and brown rice. This makes it dairy, gluten and soy-free, organic, vegan, vegetarian, and non-GMO.
Botanica won the Alive awards in 2017 for both Consumers' & Retailers' choice for functional foods.
It’s a great-tasting protein and more similar to whey in that it doesn’t absorb or fluff like many other protein powders.
Plus, the classic flavors of Botanica are delicious.
You can grab it off Amazon.
If that's not in the cards for you as I think they only ship to Canada, opt for Naked Nutrition protein powder. Only three ingredients and super easy to work with.
Topping The High Protein Frozen Yogurt
You can enjoy the frozen yogurt as is or top it with your favorite smoothie toppings. Personally, I like a bit of crunch in my frozen yogurt so I mix in:
- Toasted or candied pecans
- Chocolate chips
- Coconut chunks

The ultimate roundup of high protein snack recipes for hectic lifestyles.
Trying to lose weight postpartum and not feeling ravenous was frustrating with my first.
It took a whole other pregnancy for me to realize that eating more protein was the “secret” solution.
Unfortunately, living off eggs and chicken breasts sucked after a while.
The solution? I started creating high-protein recipes that tasted more like dessert to help boost my intake.
Say goodbye to mid-day slumps, slow metabolism, and constantly feeling hungry.
I gave the protein bars to a friend of mine with a gluten allergy; I usually can't give her the food I make so I saved these for her. She absolutely loved them, she said most of the protein bars she eats are way too dry but these were great! - Stephanie

I enjoyed mine with some granola on top! So yummy! Loved it! I want to make it again with protein powder next time!
Belinda
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.
