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 โ€“ Fresh mango adds natural sweetness, vibrant color, and juicy tropical flavor to every creamy bite. You can totally use frozen fruit instead!
  • Monk fruit sweetener or granulated white sugar โ€“ A touch of sweetener enhances the mango’s natural flavor while helping create a balanced dessert.
  • Greek yogurt, full-fat โ€“ This provides a rich, creamy texture and tangy flavor while adding protein to the recipe.
  • 2% Milk โ€“ 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 and Tricks

  • Want ultra-creamy frozen yogurt? Add ยฝ 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 a dairy-free yogurt alternative. The fat content will affect the creaminess, so full-fat yogurt will give the best results.

Can I use frozen mango instead of fresh mango?
Yes! Frozen mango works wonderfully in this recipe. Simply thaw it slightly before blending so it combines smoothly with the yogurt and milk. Frozen mango can also provide consistent sweetness and flavor year-round.

Can I add protein powder to this recipe?
Yes! Vanilla protein powder blends particularly well with mango flavor. You may need to add a little extra milk to maintain a smooth consistency before freezing. This is a great way to boost the protein content for a satisfying snack or post-workout treat.

What toppings go well with mango frozen yogurt?
Fresh mango chunks, toasted coconut, granola, sliced strawberries, blueberries, honey, chia seeds, or a drizzle of passion fruit sauce all complement the tropical mango flavor beautifully.

Why is my Ninja Creami frozen yogurt crumbly after the first spin?
A crumbly or powdery texture is completely normal. Frozen yogurt contains less fat than traditional ice cream, so it often needs a Re-spin cycle. Adding a splash of milk before re-spinning can help create an extra creamy texture.

How long does mango frozen yogurt last in the freezer?
The frozen yogurt can be stored in the Ninja Creami pint container for up to one week. If it becomes very hard after refreezing, simply process it again using the Re-spin function before serving.
