Can you freeze Yogurt?

Yogurt is safe to freeze, but its smooth texture breaks down once thawed, turning watery and grainy as the whey separates from the curd. Freeze it in a rigid tub with a little headroom, or spoon it into ice-cube trays, for 1–2 months. Thaw in the fridge and whisk well; use it in smoothies, baking, or cooking rather than eating by the spoon.

Freezing guidance is based on the cited USDA/FDA storage references on the Yogurt shelf life page. Last verified 2026-07-10 by the FoodLasts Editorial Team.
