Ingredient Details

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt provides a thick, creamy texture and adds protein to the recipe.

Blueberries

Fresh blueberries add natural sweetness and juicy bursts of flavor.

Honey

Honey adds a little extra sweetness and balances the tanginess of the yogurt.

Vanilla Extract

Vanilla gives a warm, dessert-like flavor.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Honey
  • Vanilla extract (if using)

Mix until smooth and creamy.

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

Step 2: Prepare the Blueberries

Wash and dry the blueberries thoroughly.

Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Removing excess moisture helps the bites freeze better.

Step 3: Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold the blueberries into the yogurt mixture.

Stir carefully to avoid crushing the berries.

You want the blueberries evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4: Line a Tray

Line a baking sheet, plate, or tray with parchment paper.

Make sure it fits into your freezer.

Step 5: Form the Bites

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, place small portions of the yogurt mixture onto the lined tray.

Leave a little space between each bite.

Each bite should be about 1–2 tablespoons in size.

Step 6: Freeze

Place the tray in the freezer.

Freeze for at least:

2–3 hours

or until completely firm.

Step 7: Store

Transfer the frozen yogurt bites into a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag.

Keep them frozen until ready to eat.

Step 8: Serve

Remove a few bites from the freezer.

Let them sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes before eating.

Enjoy as a healthy frozen snack or dessert.
