Ingredients
Snack Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Portion the bites: Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized dollops of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, spacing them evenly apart.
- Freeze the bites: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the yogurt bites freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Store and serve: Once frozen, transfer the bites to an airtight container or freezer bag. Keep them stored in the freezer and enjoy directly as a cold, refreshing snack whenever desired.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter or any nut/seed butter of choice for the peanut butter.
- If you prefer a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup as a sweetener.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less honey/maple syrup.
- For easier portioning, slightly freeze the mixture before scooping.
- These bites last well in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
