Key Ingredients
- Peaches – You can use fresh or frozen. The peel can be left on or taken off, depending on your preference.
- Banana – It adds volume, creaminess, and sweetness to this frozen yogurt. You can use fresh or frozen. Learn how to freeze bananas.
- Plain Greek yogurt – I highly recommend using the whole milk kind for the best flavor, a creamy texture, and healthy fats. If you have any frozen yogurt, this will be a great way to use it up. Check out my suggestions for the best yogurt for babies.
- Lemon juice – Enhances the natural sweetness of the peaches and keeps the frozen yogurt tasting fresh and vibrant.
How to Freeze Fresh Peaches
While you can use fresh or frozen peaches for this frozen peach yogurt, I highly encourage you to use fresh peaches when they’re in season!
And since peach season is so short, take advantage by grabbing more peaches than you know what to do with and freeze them! That way, you can enjoy the sweet peach flavor throughout the year in smoothies, oatmeal, and homemade frozen yogurt.
When freezing fresh peaches, you can leave the skin on or peel it first. I like to keep the skin on since much of the fiber and nutrients are found in the peel. Learn more about the benefits of high fiber foods for babies and toddlers.
To freeze peaches, slice them and arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for longer storage.
How to Make Frozen Peach Yogurt
- Grab your food processor or blender and add the yogurt, lemon juice, frozen peach slices and banana. Blend! If using a Vitamix, like me, be sure to use the tamper that comes with it.
- Give it a taste and add honey or maple syrup, if desired. If serving to babies, I recommend reading this guide on sugar for babies first.
- Enjoy immediately or freeze.
Expert Tips
- Use ripe peaches – The riper the peaches, the sweeter and more flavorful the frozen yogurt will be.
- Freeze fruit beforehand for the creamiest texture – Frozen peaches create a thicker, scoopable consistency right away.
- Use whole milk Greek yogurt – It makes the frozen yogurt creamier and less icy.
- Stop and scrape down the sides – Pause a few times while blending so everything gets evenly combined and ultra creamy.
- Don’t overblend – Blending too long will warm up the frozen fruit and cause the yogurt to become too soft and melty.
- Taste before freezing – Depending on the sweetness of your peaches, you may want more or less sweetener.
- Let it soften before serving – If fully frozen, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for easier scooping.
- Serve immediately for soft-serve texture – Right after blending is when the texture is the creamiest.
Variations
- Berry Peach Frozen Yogurt – Add strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for extra flavor and color.
- Peach Mango Frozen Yogurt – Swap some of the peaches for frozen mango for a tropical twist.
- Peach Banana Frozen Yogurt – Add half a banana for extra creaminess and natural sweetness.
- Vanilla Cinnamon Peach – Add a splash of vanilla and pinch of cinnamon for cozy peach cobbler vibes.
- Dairy-Free Version – Use your favorite dairy-free yogurt to make it completely dairy-free.
- Protein Boost – Add hemp seeds, chia seeds, or a spoonful of nut butter. This homemade sunflower seed butter would also be great! Learn all about chia seeds for babies and how to introduce them correctly.
Serving Suggestions
If you like your frozen yogurt soft-serve style, enjoy right away! It’s my personal favorite.
You can place in the freezer so that it firms up a bit, but note that if you freeze overnight, the yogurt will harden completely. You will need to let it sit at room temperature for it to become scoopable.
Peach Frozen Yogurt FAQs
Transfer the yogurt mixture to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the surface and add a layer of parchment paper on top to minimize ice crystals from forming. Close the lid and freeze for up to a month.
What I’ve found, though, is that once thawed, the yogurt is looser in consistency than when first made. That’s why I enjoy this the most right after it’s blended.
You can also freeze in individual portions using a container like this baby food storage container. I use this to store hummus, overnight oats, chia pudding...it really comes in handy!
Or freeze the mixture in popsicle molds! For babies and younger toddlers, this silicone mold is perfect! It can also double as a fun snack tray.
I recommend using whole milk Greek yogurt for a thicker and creamier texture. The runnier the yogurt, the thinner the frozen yogurt will be.
You can use flavored yogurt for added sweetness, but if you are planning to share with your little one(s), I recommend avoiding added sugars as much as possible until 2 years of age. Even without it, the mixture will be plenty sweet for them with just ripe peaches and banana.
You can use any non-dairy alternative! Be sure to look for Greek-style for the thick consistency.
Frozen yogurt naturally freezes firmer than ice cream because it contains less fat. Using whole milk Greek yogurt and ripe peaches helps create a creamier texture.

My son LOVES this recipe (and I do too)! I also love that it’s so easy and definitely perfect for summer. I’ve even adjusted the recipe a couple times when I only have flavored greek yogurt and it turns out well regardless. Highly recommend, and I’ll be sad when peach season is over!
Yay! this is one of my son’s fav too! Why does peach season have to be so short (sob)
