Ninja Creami Mango Frozen Yogurt

With fresh mango, Greek yogurt, and a touch of sweetness, this frozen yogurt is the ideal balance between indulgent and nutritious. Plus, you have complete control over the ingredients, so you can adjust the sugar intake or even sneak in some protein for an extra boost!

Four bowls on a wooden table: one with vanilla protein shake, one with diced mango, one with Greek yogurt, and a small one with sugar. Each bowl is labeled accordingly.

Ingredients

  • Ripe mangos, cubed – fresh mango gives this frozen yogurt a natural sweetness and bright flavor. You can totally use frozen fruit instead!
  • Monk fruit sweetener or granulated white sugar – a touch of sweetness enhances the mango flavor without overpowering it.
  • Greek yogurt, full-fat – this adds a creamy texture and a slight tanginess that balances the sweetness.
  • 2% milk – helps create a smooth consistency and makes the frozen yogurt scoopable.  You can substitute this for a vanilla protein shake for an added protein boost.

Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine cubed mango and sweetener. Let them sit for 15 minutes until the mango starts to release its juices.

2. Add the Greek yogurt and milk to the bowl. Use an immersion blender to blend until combined, but be careful not to overmix.

3. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to go over the max fill line.

4. Place the container on a level surface in the freezer and let it freeze for 24 hours or until solid.

5. Once frozen, remove the container from the freezer and run it under hot water for 30 seconds to loosen the sides.

6. Place the container in the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami, lock the lid into place, and insert it into the Ninja Creami ice cream maker. Press the Lite Ice Cream button and allow the cycle to complete.

Tips & Tricks

  • Want ultra-creamy frozen yogurt? Add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum before freezing to maintain a much creamier texture.
  • Chop mix-ins into small pieces so they distribute evenly and blend smoothly.
  • Place the pint on a level surface in your freezer to prevent freezing at an angle.
  • If the frozen yogurt is too hard, use the Re-spin function for a softer consistency.
  • Let the frozen pint sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or run under hot water for 30 seconds before spinning to prevent icy chunks.
  • If a dome forms on top while freezing, try freezing without the lid or scrape off any excess before spinning to protect your blades.
  • If you’re looking to reduce sugar content, consider using natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar for a different flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of yogurt?

Yes! You can use plain yogurt, fat-free yogurt, or even coconut milk for a dairy-free option. The fat content will affect the creaminess, so full-fat yogurt will give the best results.

What if my frozen yogurt is too icy?

If your yogurt mixture is too icy after the first spin, use the Re-spin button to achieve a smoother consistency. You can also add a tablespoon of instant pudding mix to the base before freezing for a softer texture.

Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or peanut butter?

Absolutely! After the last step, use the Mix-In function on your Ninja Creami to incorporate your favorite toppings like chocolate chips, peanut butter, or even cocoa powder for a Ninja Creami chocolate twist.
