Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 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 Toppings
- ½ cup granola (optional, for crunch)
- ½ cup melted dark or white chocolate (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Add strawberries: Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries to the yogurt mixture, ensuring even distribution without breaking down the fruit too much.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy removal of the bites after freezing.
- Form bites: Use a spoon to drop small spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet, shaping each into a small round bite-sized portion.
- Add crunch (optional): Sprinkle granola over the top of each yogurt bite if desired for added texture and crunch.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the yogurt bites to freeze for at least 2 hours or until they become firm and hold their shape.
- Drizzle chocolate (optional): Once frozen, drizzle melted dark or white chocolate over the bites, then return them to the freezer for an additional 10 minutes to let the chocolate set completely.
- Store: After fully freezing, transfer the yogurt bites into an airtight container for convenient storage in the freezer.
- Serve: Enjoy the strawberry yogurt bites straight from the freezer for a cool, refreshing, and healthy snack.
Notes
- Use a dairy-free yogurt alternative to make this recipe vegan or dairy-free.
- Adjust sweetness by varying honey or syrup amount according to taste.
- For best texture, consume bites within 1 week of freezing.
- Make sure strawberries are finely chopped to help the bites hold together better.
- Granola adds crunch but can be omitted for a softer texture.
- The chocolate drizzle is optional but adds a nice decorative and flavor touch.
