This 5-minute, 3 ingredient healthy homemade Chocolate Greek Yogurt is a quick, non-fat, gluten-free, delicious low-calorie dessert and satisfies that chocolate craving in a healthy way! Yet it tastes rich and indulgent.
I make this GreeK Chocolate Yogurt for a guilt-free, easy dessert or snack. 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). This recipe is 2 WW points.

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 this yogurt with chocolate too!
I love this snack so much that I used it as a base and turned it into other delicious frozen desserts! It's also the base recipe for my frozen yogurt bark: Rocky Road Froyo Bark (shown below). AND my Skinny Black Forest Ice Cream Sandwiches !
🥘 Ingredient Notes
You only need 3 ingredients for this Chocolate Greek Yogurt!
- Agave. I use agave in my chocolate yogurt recipe instead of honey, as I much prefer the taste. This natural sweetener is valued as a vegan alternative to honey and is 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. You can substitute honey, but you'll need to double the amount
- Greek yogurt. I use non-fat 0% Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt and will keep you feeling full longer. I usually use Oikos.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder. Cocoa powder is a great way to get a rich chocolatey taste without using any WW points!
📖 Variations
- Vegan option -use a dairy-free yogurt alternative such as So Delicious cultured coconut milk.
- Yogurt- you can use regular yogurt instead.
- Sweetener - you could use honey instead, but you'll need to double the amount.
- Add-ins - berries, nuts, coconut (just be sure to add the ww points)
🔪How to Make Chocolate Greek Yogurt
- Step 1: Mix all ingredients together, but add the cocoa a little at a time.
- Step 2: Continue to add the cocoa slowly, mixing in a little at a time, with a whisk (this will prevent it from spraying all over your counter).
- Step 3: Keep Whisking until completely combined. *Add more agave and cocoa powder to your liking (Note: this will increase calorie count and WW points)
Expert Tips
- Add the unsweetened cocoa slowly. Add the cocoa powder, mixing in a little at a time, gently and preferably with a whisk. If you try to add it all at once and stir, you'll end up with cocoa all over the counter!
- Choose the best Greek yogurt. Opt for non-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and highest protein content. I prefer Oikos.
- Portion control. Divide the yogurt into small jars or containers for easy grab-and-go snacks or portioned desserts.
- Layer it. For a more dessert-like presentation, layer the chocolate yogurt with berries and granola in a clear glass to create a parfait.
- Experiment with flavors. Add a dash of vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon, or a splash of espresso to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Frozen option. Greek Yogurt about to expire? No problem! Turn this yogurt into a frozen treat by spreading it thinly on parchment paper and freezing it with your favorite toppings, such as nuts, dried fruit, or coconut flakes, or try my Rocky Road Frozen Yogurt Bark (it's ww friendly too!)

🌡️Storing
You can store this recipe in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to about 5 days (or until the yogurt expires). You can also freeze it and eat it as frozen yogurt. It works best if you freeze it in sheets (or squares) with toppings or fillings, as you can see from the froyo bark recipe above.
This chocolate Greek yogurt is yet another healthy chocolate snack you can add to your 'back to school' lunch bag food repertoire!
❔ Recipe FAQ's
To avoid clumping, add the cocoa powder slowly and mix it in a little at a time with a whisk. This ensures a smooth consistency. You could also sift it (as you would flour) prior to adding it.
Yes! This recipe is kid-friendly and makes a great addition to lunch boxes or an after-school snack. If you're specifically making it for kids, you can use full-fat Greek yogurt.
Serve it in a dessert dish with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, granola, or nuts. To keep it really low in ww points, sprinkle a little unsweetened cocoa powder on top or garnish with some unsweetened shaved coconut.
If you're following the Weight Watchers program, you'll want to opt for a non-fat yogurt (it will say 0% ) on it. You can use any brand you prefer.

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.

Hi: sure you could use vanilla Greek yogurt- great idea! Vanilla and chocolate go perfectly together! Or even honey (that may even have been the original sweetener) Enjoy!
