If you were obsessed with Sweetgreen’s frozen yogurt back in the day, you’re going to love this homemade version.

I used to get it all the time—like truly a go-to order—and my favorite topping was always the toasted coconut. There’s just something about that creamy, tangy froyo with crunchy coconut on top… it’s simple but so good.

This Copycat Sweetgreen Frozen Yogurt brings that exact vibe home. It’s creamy, tangy, lightly sweet, and made with simple, real ingredients. Perfect for warmer days or whenever you want something refreshing that still feels like a treat.

Why This Recipe Works

Sweetgreen’s frozen yogurt stood out because it wasn’t overly sweet or heavy—it had that perfect tangy, creamy balance.

This version recreates that by using:

Greek yogurt for thickness + tang
A mix of honey + sugar for clean sweetness
A touch of lemon juice to enhance that signature flavor

My Go-To Kitchen Tools & Ingredients
