Homemade Chocolate Yogurt – A healthy snack or dessert (vegan option)

By 11 Comments

Jump to Recipe
I am getting back on track again after the holidays and find myself turning to my arsenal of light and healthy desserts. I make this Homemade Chocolate Yogurt for a guilt-free easy dessert or snack and it is a very satisfying alternative to eating something naughty.  It also makes a great back to school kids lunch box snack (for the kids or you).

However, this is more of a tip than a recipe. Actually, it came to me as a Weight Watchers tip. But I wasn’t expecting this part: my kids love it too!

I love this chocolate yogurt so much that I made it into other delicious desserts! This chocolate yogurt recipe is also the base for my chocolate frozen yogurt bark: Rocky Road Froyo Bark .

I use agave in my chocolate yogurt instead of honey, as I much prefer the taste. This natural sweetener is valued as a vegan alternative to honey and touted for its low glycemic index. Although agave packs 20 calories per teaspoon, five more than granulated sugar, like honey, it’s sweeter than sugar, so you need less to achieve the same level of sweetness.

Vegan option: use a dairy-free yogurt alternative (So Delicious makes one)

    That actually looks quite yummy! I wonder if you could use fat-free Greek vanilla yogurt instead, and omit the agave sweetener? Just a thought, as I don’t care for the taste of agave sweetener. Thanks for posting – always good to have low-cal/low-fat ideas for snacks.
