For hot days, nothing better than refreshing yourself with a snack rich in proteins and fruits. Frozen yogurts are the best option to replace commercials and desserts. They provide, calcium, good quality proteins, fibre, probiotics.
In this post, we bring you several options, but you can yourself make your own versions based on Greek yogurt.
The idea is to always use a yogurt that is of a heavy consistency, to give it more creaminess. Greek yogurt has more proteins. You can use but the natural, but avoid the skimmed ones. Another option is to use half of the preparation in the form of yogurt and the other half as low-fat spread.

Yogurt ice cream has become popular in recent years, as it is one of the easiest ice cream recipes for children. Here we propose a very simple and quick version for any occasion.
One of the advantages of frozen yogurt is that its smooth flavour and creamy texture are the perfect counterpoint to accompany it with fruit, so we will encourage children to take a healthy and rich snack.
Ingredients
- 2 Greek yogurts (or natural yogurts)
- 250 ml. of cream for riding
- 75 gr. of sugar
Tips: This yogurt ice cream is one of the easiest and quickest to prepare, so it is ideal to accompany it with some fresh fruit and give it to the children in the snack or dessert. You can also accompany it with a splash of chocolate syrup or caramel.
Preparation of yogurt ice cream
- Lightly beat the cream (it must be very cold) with the rods until it is semi-matt.
- Beat the yoghurts with the sugar. Add it to the previous mixture and beat until it forms a creamy dough.
- To make ice cream with ice cream, take the mixture to the refrigerator for a few hours so that the mixture cools. Then, pour it into the glass of the refrigerator following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- This yogurt ice cream can also be made without a refrigerator. To do this, pour the mixture into a metal mould and as flat as possible (so that it cools more quickly). Cover with clear plastic film and take to the freezer. Remove the mixture every half hour for the first three hours, to break the ice crystals.
