An easy homemade summer snack combining creamy Greek yogurt with fresh or frozen fruit, lightly sweetened and frozen in reusable tubes for a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred, low-fat or dairy-free options like coconut or almond yogurt can be used)
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups (150225 g) fresh or frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, mango, peaches, pineapple, or berry medley)
  • 23 tablespoons (3045 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to sweetness preference)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Reusable gogurt tubes or freezer-safe plastic tubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Measure 1 to 1 ½ cups (150-225 g) of chosen fruit. Wash and chop fresh fruit into small pieces; for frozen fruit, avoid large chunks.
  2. Blend the fruit: Place fruit in a blender or food processor. Pulse a few times to break it down but leave some small chunks for texture (about 30 seconds).
  3. Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt, 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth and creamy (1-2 minutes).
  4. Fold in the fruit: Add the blended fruit to the yogurt mixture and fold gently to distribute evenly without overmixing.
  5. Fill the tubes: Spoon the mixture into gogurt tubes or freezer-safe containers, leaving a little headspace for expansion (about 5 minutes).
  6. Seal and freeze: Secure lids tightly and place tubes upright in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. Serving: Run the tube under warm water for a few seconds to loosen, then gently squeeze out the frozen treat and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess and easier squeezing. Avoid overblending fruit to keep texture. Leave headspace in tubes to prevent bursting. Freeze tubes upright. Stir tubes gently during first 2 hours of freezing to reduce ice crystals. Frozen gogurt tubes keep well for up to 2 weeks. Running tubes under warm water loosens the treat for easy removal.
