Frozen yogurt bites are the easiest healthy snack you’ll ever make! Creamy Greek yogurt mixed with honey and vanilla, studded with fresh fruit, and frozen into perfect bite-sized portions. These protein-packed treats take just 5 minutes to prep and are endlessly customizable with your favorite fruits and toppings. Perfect for kids’ lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or guilt-free desserts.
Ingredients
For the Yogurt Base:
- 2 cups Greek-style plain yogurt, whole-milk preferred (can substitute low-fat, but full-fat is creamier)
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, optional (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Mix-ins:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen fruit, chopped if needed (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, banana slices, or mango chunks)
Optional Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (for adults/older kids)
Instructions
Add 2 cups Greek yogurt, 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (if using), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to a medium bowl. Stir with a spoon until completely smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed
Spoon or pour the yogurt mixture into silicone molds, ice cube trays, or mini muffin liners, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. Using a small spoon works best for control, but you can also use a measuring spoon or small ladle.
Gently press pieces of fruit into the yogurt in each mold, distributing evenly. For berries, 2–3 pieces per bite works perfectly. For larger fruit like strawberries or banana, use smaller chopped pieces. Add sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or other toppings now if desired, pressing them lightly into the surface.
Place the filled molds on a flat surface in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely solid. For faster freezing (about 4 hours), use smaller molds or make the bites thinner. Avoid opening the freezer door frequently during the first few hours.
Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the molds. If using silicone molds, gently push from the bottom to pop them out. For ice cube trays, run the bottom under warm water for 5 seconds to loosen. Let the bites sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes before serving so they soften slightly and develop a creamier texture that’s easier to bite into.
Notes
- Prevent icy texture: Use full-fat yogurt and don’t skip the sweetener entirely—a little sugar or honey helps create a smoother, less icy texture.
- Make them extra creamy: Blend the yogurt base with a tablespoon of cream cheese or mascarpone for an even richer frozen treat.
- Speed up prep: Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to fill molds quickly and neatly.
- Keep fruit from sinking: Fill molds halfway with yogurt, freeze for 30 minutes, then add fruit and top with remaining yogurt before final freezing.
- Prevent freezer burn: After fully frozen, transfer bites to a freezer-safe container or bag with parchment paper between layers. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months
