  • Total Time: 130 Minutes
  • Yield: 12-15 bites (12 Servings)

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, at room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for extra warmth)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (for added nutrition)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tray: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Ensure it fits easily in your freezer. If using refrigerated peanut butter, let it come to room temperature before starting for easier mixing.
  2. Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir firmly with a sturdy spoon or spatula until the mixture is completely smooth, with no visible streaks of peanut butter. If the mixture feels too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or extra yogurt to loosen it slightly.
  3. Add Chocolate and Extras: Fold in the mini chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) gently until evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Now, if you’re using any optional add-ins like cinnamon, chia seeds, or chopped nuts, fold them in until incorporated.
  4. Shape Bites: Using a tablespoon measure or small cookie scoop, portion out 1 to 1.5 tablespoon scoops of the mixture onto your parchment-lined tray, spacing them about an inch apart. For a neat appearance, use the back of a spoon to gently smooth the tops.
  5. Freeze: Place the tray flat in your freezer and freeze for 1-2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm to the touch. The freezing time may vary depending on your freezer temperature and bite size.
  6. Store: Once the bites are frozen solid, move them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag, using parchment paper between layers if stacking to prevent sticking. Seal tightly to avoid freezer burn.
  7. Enjoy: Enjoy the bites straight from the freezer for a cool, protein-rich snack. For the best texture, let them sit at room temperature for about 30 seconds before enjoying.

Notes

  • These bites offer a nutritious alternative to ice cream, packed with protein and healthy fats.
  • For added sweetness, use vanilla Greek yogurt or increase the honey/maple syrup.
  • Perfect as a post-workout snack, afternoon energy boost, or healthier dessert.
  • Switch peanut butter for any nut or seed butter if you have allergies.
  • Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent freezer burn and maintain texture.
  • Check all ingredient labels if serving to those with allergies.
