Ingredients Notes
To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- Banana: Use a ripe banana for the best natural sweetness and creamy texture.
- Frozen Blueberries: Frozen blueberries give the frozen yoghurt its beautiful colour and fruity flavour. Fresh blueberries can also be used.
- Fat-Free Vanilla Greek Yoghurt: Creates a rich, creamy frozen yoghurt while keeping it lighter. Use a thick Greek yoghurt for the best texture.
- Milk: Just a small splash helps the ingredients blend smoothly before freezing. Any milk of your choice will work.
- Sweetener (Optional): Taste the mixture before freezing and add a little extra sweetener if needed. Frozen desserts taste slightly less sweet once frozen.
- For topping: crumbled biscoff lotus cookies.
Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.

Variations and Substitutions
This frozen yogurt is easy to customise with different fruits and flavours.
- Try different berries: Swap the blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or mixed berries.
- Use a different yoghurt: Plain or flavoured Greek yoghurt both work well. Choose your favourite flavour to change the finished dessert.
- Add extra fruit: Mango, peaches or cherries all make delicious additions.
- Boost the flavour: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
- Make it chocolatey: Stir through some mini chocolate chips or crumble over your favourite cookie after spinning.
- Add mix-ins: Chopped nuts, granola, crushed cookies or fresh fruit can all be folded through after processing.
Can I Make This Without a Ninja Creami?
Yes! While the Ninja Creami gives the creamiest texture, you can still enjoy this recipe without one.
Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes to help break up any ice crystals. The texture won't be quite as smooth and creamy as the Ninja Creami version, but it will still be delicious.
Serving Suggestions
Serve straight from the Ninja Creami for the creamiest texture.
Enjoy it on its own, or customise it with your favourite toppings and mix-ins. Fresh blueberries, sliced banana, granola, chopped nuts, toasted coconut, mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, chopped chocolate, a swirl of peanut butter or almond butter, berry jam or a drizzle of chocolate sauce all work beautifully.
You can either use the Mix-In function on your Ninja Creami, fold the mix-ins through by hand after spinning, or simply sprinkle them over the top before serving. For an extra special treat, serve it in your favourite ice cream cone or waffle bowl.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint with the lid on in the freezer. Before returning the pint to the freezer, smooth the surface so it is as level as possible. This helps the Ninja Creami process the frozen yogurt more evenly when you come to re-spin it.
When you're ready to enjoy it again, process on the Re-Spin setting, adding a small splash of milk if needed to bring it back to a smooth, creamy consistency.

Recipe Card
Ninja Creami Blueberry Banana Frozen Yoghurt
This Ninja Creami Blueberry Banana Frozen Yoghurt is a creamy, fruity dessert that's easy to make with just a handful of simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
- ½ cup (75g) frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons milk, plus a little extra if needed for re-spinning
- Fat-free vanilla Greek yoghurt (enough to fill the Ninja Creami pint)
- Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional)
- 2 Lotus Biscoff cookies, crumbled (for topping)
Instructions
- Add the banana, frozen blueberries and milk to your empty Ninja Creami pint. Top with the fat-free vanilla Greek yoghurt until the ingredients reach approximately the fill line.
- Transfer everything to a blender, or use a stick (immersion) blender, and blend until completely smooth.
- Taste the mixture and add your sweetener of choice until it reaches your desired level of sweetness. Remember that frozen desserts lose a little sweetness once frozen, so make it slightly sweeter than you'd like the finished frozen yoghurt.
- Pour the blended mixture back into the Ninja Creami pint, making sure it does not go above the Max Fill line.
- Freeze for 24 hours.
- Process on the Lite Ice Cream setting.
- If the frozen yoghurt is a little crumbly after the first spin, add a small splash of milk and process using the Re-Spin setting until smooth and creamy.
- Divide among 4 bowls and sprinkle with the crumbled lotus biscoff cookie.
- Enjoy!
