Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
Optional Ingredients
- ½ cup granola (optional, for crunch)
- ½ cup melted dark or white chocolate (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
- Combine yogurt and sweeteners: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fold in strawberries: Gently fold the finely chopped fresh strawberries into the yogurt mixture to evenly distribute the fruit without breaking it down too much.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the yogurt bites from sticking and to make removal easier after freezing.
- Form yogurt bites: Drop spoonfuls of the yogurt and strawberry mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping each into small, round bites for easy snacking.
- Add granola topping: If using, sprinkle granola evenly over each yogurt bite to add a crunchy texture.
- Freeze the bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the bites to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they become firm and hold their shape.
- Drizzle with chocolate (optional): If desired, drizzle the frozen bites with melted dark or white chocolate, then return them to the freezer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set properly.
- Store the finished bites: Once fully frozen, transfer the yogurt bites to an airtight container for convenient storage and easy access whenever you want a refreshing treat.
- Serve and enjoy: Enjoy these cooling strawberry yogurt bites straight from the freezer as a healthy snack or dessert option.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with any dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan and lactose-free.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste preference.
- Ensure bites are fully frozen before removing from the baking sheet to prevent them from falling apart.
- Granola adds texture but can be omitted for a smoother bite or if you prefer a gluten-free option by using gluten-free granola.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks for best freshness.
