Ingredients for Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites – Healthy, Creamy & Refreshing
You probably already have most of this in your kitchen right now. Here is what you need to grab.
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat or low fat)
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or chopped strawberries
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup crushed nuts or granola for crunch
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites – Healthy, Creamy & Refreshing
Follow these steps and you will have a batch ready for the freezer in no time. It is super easy.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Trust me you do not want to skip this or you will never get them off the tray.
- In a medium bowl whisk the Greek yogurt honey and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in your choice of fresh berries or chocolate chips. I like to use a mix of both if I am feeling fancy.
- Use a tablespoon to drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Keep them about an inch apart.
- Top each bite with a sprinkle of nuts or extra fruit if you want that extra crunch and pretty look.
- Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the bites are completely firm and solid.
- Remove from the freezer and peel the bites off the parchment paper. They should pop right off.
Tips for Success and Timing
I have made these a million times and learned a few things along the way to make them perfect.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes.
- Freeze Time: 2 to 3 hours.
- Avoid Confusion: Do not leave the bites at room temperature for more than 5 minutes before eating because they will melt quickly. If they feel too hard right out of the freezer let them sit for just 60 seconds to soften slightly.
- Storage: Once they are frozen solid transfer the bites to an airtight container or a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
Frequently Asked Questions About Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites – Healthy, Creamy & Refreshing
I get asked about these all the time so here are the answers to the most common questions.
Can I use flavored yogurt?
Yes you can use vanilla or strawberry yogurt but keep in mind these often contain more added sugar than plain Greek yogurt. If you use flavored yogurt you might want to skip the extra honey.
How long do these stay fresh?
You can store these in the freezer for up to two weeks for the best taste and texture. After that they might start to get a bit too icy.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Absolutely. You can substitute the Greek yogurt with a thick coconut-based or almond-based yogurt alternative. Just make sure it is a thick brand so the bites hold their shape.
