What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)
Greek yogurt – Thick and protein-packed; use full-fat for best texture.

Pro Tips Before You Start
Use a silicone mold – It makes portioning and removal super easy.
Choose a thick yogurt – Thin yogurt can make the bites icy, not creamy.
Chill your ingredients – Helps them set up faster in the freezer.
Taste and adjust – Add more sweetener if you like a dessert-level treat.
Use parchment paper – If scooping onto a tray, this prevents sticking.
How to Make Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites
Step 1: Clear Space
Make room in your freezer for a flat tray or silicone mold so it can freeze evenly.
Step 2: Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, sweetener of choice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add Chocolate
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly scattered throughout the mixture.
Step 4: Portion the Bites
Line a tray with parchment paper or prep your silicone mold.
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the tray or fill the mold cavities.
Step 5: Freeze Until Firm
Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are solid and hold their shape.
Step 6: Store or Serve
Once set, pop them out of the mold or off the tray.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for later snacking.
What to Serve It With
A cup of iced coffee or cold brew – Perfect afternoon treat.
Sliced bananas or apples – Great contrast in flavor and texture.
Granola – Crumble a bite over a yogurt bowl for crunch.
Drizzle of chocolate or peanut butter – For an extra indulgent version.
Smoothies – Toss one in as a frozen thickener!
Variations / Substitutions
Use almond butter – For a different nutty twist.
Add crushed nuts – Like peanuts or walnuts for crunch.
Make it fruity – Mix in finely chopped strawberries or dried cranberries.
Try dark chocolate chunks – For a bolder chocolate flavor.
Make it vegan – Use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup.
Storage & Leftovers
Freezer – Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 1 month.
Serving – Let sit at room temp for 2–3 minutes before eating if too firm.
Avoid fridge – They lose shape and become too soft if not frozen.
Batch-friendly – Easily double or triple the recipe for meal prep.

A small cookie scoop makes consistent, mess-free bites.
