Skinny Peanut Butter Banana Frozen Yogurt

Skinny peanut butter banana frozen yogurt made with frozen bananas blended into an impossibly smooth, naturally sweet ice-cream texture. This protein frozen yogurt version uses Greek yogurt and peanut butter for a creamy, soft-serve finish or a firmer frozen scoop.

Ingredients
  

Banana base
  • 3 ripe bananas Slice and freeze until solid.
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp honey Optional for added sweetness.
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt
Toppings
  • 1 banana slices For topping (as desired).
  • 1 peanut butter For a drizzle (as desired).

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer

Method
 

Blend into froyo
  1. Add the frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey if using, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender and blend until completely smooth, scraping down as needed to keep the mixture creamy.
  2. Stop when the mixture looks pale tan and thick like soft-serve with no visible banana chunks.
Freeze for a firmer scoop (optional)
  1. For immediate soft-serve, serve right away; for firmer texture, transfer to a freezer container and freeze for 2-4 hours until set.
Rest and serve
  1. Let the frozen mixture sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping so it softens slightly.
  2. Top with banana slices and drizzle with peanut butter right before serving.

Notes

For the smoothest, spoonable texture, make sure the bananas are fully frozen before blending and blend until completely chunk-free. Store in the freezer in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks; to re-scoop, let sit 5 minutes at room temperature. Freezing is recommended (not just chilling). For a dairy-light option, use plain lactose-free Greek yogurt or a higher-protein dairy-free yogurt with similar thickness.
