FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but Greek yogurt provides a thicker, creamier texture and more protein. Regular yogurt may result in a softer frozen yogurt.

Do the bananas need to be fully frozen?

Yes, freezing the banana slices helps achieve a smooth, creamy texture when blended and prevents the mixture from becoming watery.
