Ingredients you need for Mango Frozen Yogurt

Hung Yogurt - You can use greek yogurt too but I would still recoment to hung it over night so, all the excess moisture is strained.

Mango - Use ripe sweet mangoes. If you use canned mango, it might make the consistencu too liquidy.

Maple Syrup - Adding sweetner is optional. I added a very small amount to cut down the acidity of the yogurt and mango. You can simultaeously use your choice of sweetner too.

Protein Powder - You can use your choice of protein powder. This is optional and you can discard adding if you don't use protein powder.

Equipment - I used Ninja Creami to make the frozen yogurt. This is not a sponsored post. You can simulatneously also churn the yogurt and mango mixture in a regular ice cream churner.

How to Make Mango Frozen Yogurt in the Ninja Creami

1- Place the yourt in a muslin jar or use a container that is used to hung yogurt and let it strain the excess water. I like to do this the precious night and leave it in the fridge.

2- Take the hung yogurt to a the Ninja Creami container and add mango pulp to that.

3- Next add protein powder and maple syrup. Use a hand blender to blend the mixture to a smooth consistency. Cover the container and leave it in the refrigerator for over night.

4- Next day, place the container in the blender and select 'Lite Ice Cream' and let it blend for 4 minutes.

Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately.

Tips for the Creamiest Frozen Yogurt

Removing excess whey creates a thicker base, resulting in an incredibly creamy frozen yogurt without needing heavy cream.

Naturally ripe mangoes provide the best flavor and reduce the need for extra sweetener.

Protein powder can sometimes create a slightly crumbly texture after the first cycle. A quick Re-Spin transforms it into silky, scoopable perfection.

The Ninja Creami works best when the mixture has been frozen for a full 24 hours.

Vanilla protein powder pairs beautifully with mango and yogurt, adding subtle sweetness and extra creaminess.

You can use:

Whey protein
Whey isolate
Casein protein
Plant-based vanilla protein

If your protein powder is already sweetened, reduce the maple syrup to taste.

Flavor Variations to try

Add a few tablespoons of coconut milk for a tropical twist.
Mix in a pinch of ground cardamom for flavors inspired by traditional mango lassi.
Add fresh lime zest before freezing for a bright citrus finish.Fold in diced strawberries or raspberries after spinning using the Mix-In function.
Mix crushed graham crackers into the finished frozen yogurt for a dessert-inspired treat.

Serving Suggestions

Fresh mango cubes
Toasted coconut flakes

Granola
Chia seeds
Hemp hearts

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint with the lid tightly sealed.

When ready to enjoy again, simply process it using the Light Ice Cream setting or Re-Spin cycle for 4 minutes, to restore its creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this frozen yogurt healthy?

This recipe is made with protein-rich yogurt, real fruit, natural maple syrup, and protein powder, making it a balanced dessert compared to traditional ice cream.

Can I make it without protein powder?

Yes. Simply omit the protein powder. The frozen yogurt will still be creamy, though it will contain less protein.

Why is my Ninja Creami frozen yogurt crumbly?

This is completely normal, especially with higher-protein recipes. Running one or two Re-Spin cycles creates the perfect creamy consistency.
