Healthy, homemade naturally sweetened Frozen Yogurt Tubes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain yogurt (homemade, regular, or greek)
  • 24 tablespoons of sweetener, preferably maple syrup, but sugar, agave, or honey will also work
  • 1 (0.8) oz package of RUVI (see notes)

Instructions

  1. In a medium-size bowl, mix yogurt, sweetener, and RUVI.
  2. Pour mixture into reusable or disposable pouches or molds (I do about ¼ – â…“ cup in the disposable pouches, which makes 7-8 tubes).  Freeze until firm, about 6 hours.

Notes

  • Yogurt tubes are best when eaten frozen, but they can be stored in the fridge and be eaten cold as well.
  • From my experience, young toddlers are happy with the yogurt unsweetened or with only 2 tablespoons.  Kids (or adults) that are used to Gogurts and other store-bought yogurt tubes prefer them sweetened with 3-4 tablespoons of sweetener.
  • RUVI is a powdered form of freeze dried fruit and vegetables.  They come in 4 different flavors.  Our favorites are Orange (tastes like banana mango) and Purple (tastes like blueberry grape).  See more details about RUVI in the blog post.
  • Plain yogurt (vs greek) isn’t as thick, which makes it much easier to pour into the tubes.  I prefer to use my homemade Instant Pot yogurt.  When I make yogurt, I only strain it for about an hour so it’s about the thickness of plain yogurt.  
  • My favorite way to get the yogurt into tubes is to use a funnel.  I scoop about ¼ – â…“ cup of yogurt into the funnel, then tap the funnel to help the yogurt fall into the tube.  This makes it a pretty clean, easy job.
