Secret Veggie Mint Fudge Chunk Frozen Yogurt

This frozen yogurt isn't your average frozen treat! High in protein from Greek yogurt, it's sweetened naturally with honey, and it gets its beautiful green color from spinach and avocado. Kid approved!

Ingredients

1 cup coconut milk canned, full fat
2 cups baby spinach fresh, loosely packed
1 avocado
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoons peppermint extract
3 cups yogurt

Fudge Chunks

2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cashew butter
1/2 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
sea salt pinch

Instructions

Add all fudge chunk ingredients to a bowl, and stir to combine, continuing until mixture is glossy.
Prepare a piece of parchment by folding it down the center, and placing on a plate or cutting board (that will fit in your freezer).
Pour the fudge onto the parchment, and cover with folded side. Place in the freezer to harden.
All all ingredients, except yogurt, into a blender. Blend on medium to high speed until the spinach is completely blended in and no green specks remain.
Add the yogurt, and combine until fully mixed.
Add the yogurt mixture to ice cream freezer, and freeze according to the machine's instructions.
When the yogurt is almost frozen, pull fudge out of the freezer, and chop into pieces.
Add the fudge chunks, and allow to be mixed into the yogurt.
Either enjoy the yogurt immediately, or put into a covered container and freeze for 2-4 hours for a harder consistency.

Notes

See notes in post regarding freezing leftovers. Chocolate chips can be subbed for fudge chunks to save time, but I prefer making a fudge because it stays soft and creamy with frozen.
