Ingredients

1½ cups vanilla yogurt any kind, regular or Greek
½ cup Fairlife 2% milk (or whole milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) (if using plain yogurt)
2 tablespoons sweetener (optional) (if using plain yogurt)

Optional Mix-Ins

dark chocolate chips, fresh berries, or a swirl of jam

Instructions

Fill and Mix: Add 1½ cups of vanilla yogurt and ½ cup of Fairlife milk into the Ninja Creami pint container. Whisk the yogurt mixture right in the pint until completely smooth. Make sure it doesn't go past the MAX FILL line.
Level the Top: Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Jeri's Pro-Tip: Ensure the top is completely flat! If it freezes with a hump in the middle, it can damage the machine's blade.
Freeze: Place the lid on the pint and find a level spot in your freezer. Let it freeze for a full 24 hours. Don't rush it - it needs to be rock solid to get that velvet texture.
Process: Remove the lid and place the frozen pint into the outer bowl. Lock it into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the FROZEN YOGURT button or LITE ICE CREAM setting.
Re-Spin: If the yogurt looks a little crumbly or snowy after the first spin, don't worry! Make a well in the center, add one tablespoon of milk, and hit the RE-SPIN button. This will make it super creamy.
Add Mix-ins: If you want some crunch, use a spoon to dig a hole down the center of your spun yogurt. Add your mix-ins, then select the MIX-IN function.
Serve: Top with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

Machine Settings. Most newer models have a FROZEN YOGURT button. If yours doesn't, use the LITE ICE CREAM button as it is designed for lower-fat/high-protein bases.
Yogurt Type. You can use any brand of vanilla yogurt. If you choose to use plain yogurt instead of vanilla, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste and 2 tablespoons of sweetener for flavor.
Crumbliness. If it looks dry after the first spin, it's just very cold. A tiny splash of milk and a RE-SPIN fixes it every time.
Leftovers. Level the top of any leftover yogurt and freeze. When you're ready for more, just run the FROZEN YOGURT or LITE ICE CREAM cycle again to bring back the creaminess.
