Sugar-Free Frozen Yogurt – Food Faith Fitness

Indulge in a creamy bowl of Sugar-Free Frozen Yogurt with no guilt and a whole lot of “yum”!

Let’s face it: we could all afford to cut back on sugar. Whether it’s for a certain kind of diet, health reasons, or we just want to try something new, this sugar-free frozen yogurt is a guilt-free way to enjoy a classic dessert. It’s cold, refreshing, and oh-so-satisfying.

Frozen yogurt was born in the 1970s, and was originally known as “Frogurt.” It was a delectable soft-serve that tasted like tangy ice cream. By the ’80s, there were more than 100 frozen yogurt chains across the United States. When I was growing up, we called it “fro-yo,” and it was my favorite treat to get when we went to the mall. Chocolate was my go-to, but this simple vanilla version is also totally drool-worthy.

Made with thick, fluffy, tangy Greek yogurt and rich vanilla, this sugar-free frozen yogurt can be enjoyed plain or with healthy toppings like berries and nuts. Keep reading to find your favorite way to serve it! You’d be surprised by how many options there are.

Is Sugar-Free Frozen Yogurt Healthy?

For those looking to cut back on sugar, it’s a great option. Since it’s made with Greek yogurt, there’s a dose of protein that can make this part of an energizing breakfast. Top with Protein Granola and some fruit, and you’ve got one healthy parfait!

If There’s No Sugar, What Makes It Sweet?

This recipe calls for allulose, a fruit sugar found in foods like figs, raisins, and wheat. It’s often used as a sugar replacement because it doesn’t interact with the body like cane sugar does, and it’s almost zero calories. My mom usually uses the “Wholesome” brand, but you can find many different kinds all over the internet. Other sugar alternatives include (but aren’t limited to): erythritol, stevia, and monk fruit. Allulose is handy because it has a similar texture to sugar, which suits frozen yogurt well.

FAQs & Tips

How to Make Ahead and Store

Since this dish is made to be frozen in an airtight container, it will last in the freezer for up to 2 months. That’s why this is a delightful treat to make at the beginning of the summer and enjoy throughout the season! I suggest taking it out of the freezer for about 20 minutes before serving so it gets soft and easy to scoop.

The Chocolate Chip Version

Think we can’t add chocolate chips because they’re not sugar-free? Think again! Check out the brand “Pascha” online. They make the best sugar-free chocolate chips I’ve ever tried, and I’ve baked with them frequently. Add 1/2 cup of these to the mix and you’ve got sugar-free chocolate chip frozen yogurt.

The Breakfast Edition

Serve your vanilla frozen yogurt with Sugar-Free Granola Bars for a naturally sweetened dipping experience! Alternatively, you could mix in 1/2 cup of nuts or oats, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Say hello to a snazzy little summer brunch!

Serving Suggestions

As you can see, there’s a lot of potential for creativity here… But if you want to keep the spread 100% sugar-free, try these delightful Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cookies, fudgy Sugar-Free Brownies, Sugar-Free Blueberry Muffins, or cinnamon Breakfast Bars. Some people like to top their bowl with sugar-free sprinkles. Rainbow or chocolate work just fine, but you can get festive with holiday themes too, like red-white-and-blue.

Whether it’s for breakfast or dessert, sugar-free frozen yogurt can help you start the day or end the meal on a high note!
