2 Ingredient Homemade Gogurts: Plain yogurt is blended up with mixed berries and then filled in tubes for a cheaper and healthier version of the store bought yogurt tubes.
Raise your hand if you would rather grocery shop without your kids in tow?
Just what I thought! Every single one of your hands is raised, isn’t it?! Yes, grocery shopping with kids can be distracting at best and a downright nightmare at worst. There is the constant begging and touching and chasing that sometimes it is a miracle you get anything off your grocery list!
And while my kids are past the tantrum phase and I don’t have to chase them down the isles., they still ask for things. A LOT of things.
So what is my response? I tell them to look at the ingredients. Often times, they put it back on the shelf without another word to me. Or I hear, “Geez, why do they have to put so much extra stuff in our food.”
Sigh. I feel the same way.
One request I had from my kids when they starting taking lunches to school, were for Gogurts. You know the little tubes of yogurt. That sounds good in theory, but those tubes are often filled with excess sugar and sometimes even food coloring.
Unless you make your own.
Homemade Gogurts
You only need 2 simple ingredients to make your own tubes of yogurt.
- Plain Yogurt (Greek or regular)
- Berries
Place the two together in the blender, and zip zap you have Homemade Gogurts–that is not only HEALTHIER, but cheaper as well.
Freezing Yogurt Tubes
I like to freeze my yogurt in tubes so that I can pull one out and pack lunches for my kids.
- Freeze prepared yogurt tubes.
- Pop one in a lunch box in the morning and by lunch they are defrosted and ready to eat.

The options for homemade Gogurts are endless.
Start with 2 cups plain yogurt and add in 1 cup of the following (in any combination)
- peaches

My kids favorite snack is yogurts, so this was an awesome new healthy idea! They can’t seem to get enough! My family is obsessed!
I am so happy your family enjoys these Sophie!
These are great to always have on hand in the freezer!
They make a great go to for snacks and school lunches! Glad you enjoyed
Thanks for sharing. My 11 year old is taking on the challenge to make her own gogurts this year. I rarely buy them since they’re so fake and sugary so she decided to make them herself.
Hi Allison! I LOVE this so much! Tell your 11 year old, my 11 year old says she hopes she loves these too (and that they are easy to make!)
Such a great idea. I just ordered yogurt tubes and Spiderman stickers to decorate with as my son always want a yogurt “theme.” I can’t wait to use this and skip the sugary/overpriced grocery store version.
I love that you are personalizing your yogurt tubes 🙂 What a lucky boy you have! Enjoy!
Could I use frozen fruit in this? If so, would I unthreatening it first or would it matter? Thank you! I’m excited to have a healthier version.
Hi Lindsey! You can use either fresh frozen fruit. As long as your blender can blend the frozen, no need to thaw.I hope you enjoy these.
Love this idea! I just bought the reusable molds. Thanks for sharing!
YAY!!! I hope you enjoy! My daughter and I just made a batch for the upcoming school year.
Love how simple this is!!
Simple is often best!
This recipe is genius! And way cheaper than getting the premade ones from the store!
WAY cheaper!! Thank you!
I love that they have created a mold for everything! ????
This looks perfect for the kiddos to help create!
Thanks
