FAQs
Can I use flavored yogurt?
Yes, flavored yogurt works well and adds extra sweetness—just adjust honey accordingly.
Are these suitable for toddlers?
Yes, but supervise them while eating as the bites are frozen and may be hard for small children.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes, use coconut or almond milk yogurt for a dairy-free version.
Can I refreeze them if they melt?
It’s best to avoid refreezing melted bites as the texture may change.

Fresh is best, but thawed and well-drained frozen strawberries can work too.
