I can’t tell you how much I adore making Frozen Berry Yogurt Bites! They’re not just a fun snack; they’re my go-to for satisfying my sweet tooth without all the guilt. I remember the first time I whipped up a batch with my niece who was staying over. We turned a simple yogurt dip into a playful kitchen adventure, loading our little molds with berries and yogurt while giggling about which berry would taste better. By the end of our session, the whole kitchen was a delightful chaos of spilled yogurt and laughter, but oh boy, were those berry bites delicious!
These little morsels of goodness are not only bursting with flavor but are also incredibly refreshing, especially on a hot day. They make for a perfect healthy snack option for kids and adults alike. Plus, who can resist a treat that looks as cute as it tastes?
What’s in Frozen Berry Yogurt Bites?
Greek Yogurt: I love using plain Greek yogurt for its creamy texture and healthy protein boost. If you like a little sweetness, feel free to grab flavored yogurt instead—it’ll make the bites that much sweeter!
Berries: A mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or whatever you have on hand will work wonders. Fresh berries are delightful, but frozen ones work just as well!
Honey or Maple Syrup: A drizzle of honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option) adds that touch of sweetness to counterbalance the tartness of the yogurt and berries.
Mix-ins (Optional): Chopped nuts, seeds, or even a sprinkle of granola can make these bites even more wholesome.
Is Frozen Berry Yogurt Bites Good for You?
You bet! These yogurt bites are not only tasty but packed with health benefits.
Greek Yogurt: It’s high in protein and probiotics, which support gut health. Plus, it’s a great source of calcium!
Berries: These gems are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They’re great for your skin and immune system!
However, if you’re keeping an eye on sugar intake, just be mindful of how much honey or syrup you add. The natural sugars in the fruit will sweeten the bites as well!
Ingredients
– 2 cups Greek yogurt (I love using plain, but feel free to switch it up)
– 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

– Optional: Chopped nuts or granola for topping
*Serves: About 12-16 bites*
How to Make Frozen Berry Yogurt Bites?
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until creamy and well mixed.
2. Next, add in your mixed berries. If you’re using larger berries like strawberries, chop them into smaller pieces first!
3. Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or an ice tray, filling them approximately ¾ of the way full.
4. If you’d like to add nuts or granola, sprinkle a bit of your chosen topping on top of each bite.
5. Place the molds in the freezer and let them chill for at least 2-4 hours, or until completely frozen.
