After loving my Blueberry Yogurt and Strawberry Yogurt, I have been eager to try a similar method using stone fruit, and this peach version does not disappoint. It’s one of our favorite ways to flavor plain yogurt and the fruit taste is so darn good. This recipe creates a homemade Peach Yogurt that’s similar to store-bought fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt, but the peach flavor is fresh and bright. It’s a great way to use seasonal fruit or to use up frozen peaches, depending on what you have access to, and it works blended smooth or with a chunkier fruit base. You can even make this with dairy-free yogurt as needed. Try this yogurt for kids (or yourself!) to serve as part of breakfast or snack.

Fresh or frozen peaches: This recipe works with either type of fruit. The peaches should be ripe or, to make this with frozen fruit, thaw it first so it’s easy to blend. Lemon juice (optional): Depending on the flavor of the fruit, you can add a little fresh lemon juice to brighten it up. Honey or maple syrup (optional): Depending on the flavor of the fruit, you can sweeten to taste with a little honey (for kids over age 1) or maple syrup. Whole-milk plain yogurt: You can use regular or Greek-style yogurt according to your preference. (You can also use vanilla yogurt if your family prefers.)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Below is an overview of the process involved in making this peach yogurt recipe so you know what to expect. Scroll down to the end of this post for the full information, including amounts and timing.
How to Store
Store this peach yogurt in airtight storage containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it into yogurt popsicles or to thaw for a future meal or snack right in a reusable pouch. (I’m showing this yogurt in the WeeSprout Glass Storage Jars throughout this post.)
Best Tips for Success
Serve in a bowl with a spoon or in a reusable pouch. Or store and serve in small storage containers such as the WeeSprout Glass Jars I’m using here. This is delicious with fresh in-season peaches but can also work with frozen peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw them first. You can also make this by blending my Canned Peaches. To make this without a blender, simply dice the fruit and add to the saucepan with ¼ cup apple juice or water and cook as directed, or until the diced fruit softens. Omit the honey or maple syrup if desired. Avoid honey for kids under age 12 months. Let the fruit cool slightly before adding to the yogurt. Use dairy-free yogurt to make this dairy-free.
