This Healthy Banana Frozen Yogurt Recipe Is Almost Too Easy

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Notre Dame chapter.

College has undoubtedly grown my dependance on frozen yogurt. The perfect balance between cold, sweet, and refreshing, a dose of fro-yo makes any day infinitely better.

But how sad it is when social norms and healthy habits prevent me from eating said fro-yo at any and all meal times?

I feel as though fro-yo is not only a want, but a need. 

After a friend recommended that I explore some healthy fro-yo options, I quickly realized that frozen yogurt does not, in fact, need to be dairy-based. If you have access to a freezer and a blender, your fro-yo life is about to improve significantly.

Healthy Banana Fro-yo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. McKenna Cassidy

    Grab a banana and freeze it. I find it easier to peel and cut the banana before freezing to avoid the laborious task of slicing an unpeeled frozen banana before blending.

  2. McKenna Cassidy

    Put that frozen banana in your blender.

  3. Add a little water or milk. If you’re feeling more of an icy or sorbet-like vibe, go ahead and add a few ice cubes.

  4. McKenna Cassidy

    Add the ingredients you want blended into the fro-yo.

  5. McKenna Cassidy

    Blend until creamy and fro-yo-like. Garnish with toppings.
