Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek Yogurt (opt for plain for best results)
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Peanut Butter (choose natural and well-stirred for optimal texture)
- 1/3-1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup or Honey (adjust according to taste)
- 2 tablespoons PB2 (optional, for extra peanut flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract (a splash goes a long way)
- 1 pinch Sea Salt (to balance sweetness)
Add-Ins
- 1 cup Fresh Fruit or Nuts (e.g., sliced bananas or almonds)
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (for a decadent touch)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the Greek yogurt, unsweetened peanut butter, pure maple syrup or honey, PB2 powder if using, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring even sweetness and flavor.
- Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in fresh fruit or nuts and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the yogurt mixture for bursts of texture and flavor in every bite.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top. Cover tightly and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for about 20 minutes to achieve a lightly frozen texture, suitable for a soft-serve consistency. For firmer frozen yogurt, freeze longer, about 2-4 hours.
- Serve: Remove from freezer and let sit for a couple of minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Serve in bowls and enjoy a creamy, peanut butter-flavored frozen yogurt treat that’s both satisfying and refreshing.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Adjust the sweetness level with more or less maple syrup or honey to taste.
- PB2 powder is optional but enhances the peanut flavor without extra fat.
- Feel free to swap fresh fruit or nuts according to your preference, such as berries, chopped walnuts, or pecans.
- Store leftover frozen yogurt in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
