Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup natural, unsweetened peanut butter
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
- Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended. If desired, fold in chia seeds, flaxseeds, or chocolate chips evenly.
- Portion Into Bites: Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop even dollops of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone mat. Aim for uniform, bite-sized portions to ensure even freezing.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the tray in the freezer and let the bites freeze for at least 2 to 3 hours, preferably overnight, so they harden fully and the flavors meld.
- Store Properly: Transfer the frozen bites into a sealed container or freezer-safe bag. Keep them stored in the freezer until ready to enjoy as a cold, refreshing snack.
Notes
- Use thick, full-fat or strained Greek yogurt for best texture and to reduce iciness.
- Choose natural, additive-free peanut butter for clean flavor.
- Do not skip the freezing time to ensure bites hold their shape.
- Line your freezing tray with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
- Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
