Creamy Greek yogurt blended with honey and vanilla, topped with fresh blueberries and frozen into bite-sized portions for a quick healthy snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Yogurt Mixture

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, preferably whole milk for creaminess
02 - 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
03 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Fruit

04 - 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry

→ Optional Garnish

05 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped nuts such as almonds or pistachios
06 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Using a spoon, drop small mounds approximately 1 tablespoon each of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight space between each portion.
04 - Gently press 2 to 3 blueberries into the center of each yogurt mound, ensuring they are partially submerged.
05 - If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or shredded coconut evenly over the top of each bite for added texture and flavor.
06 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm to the touch.
07 - Transfer the frozen yogurt bites to an airtight container and keep in the freezer until ready to serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes literally ten minutes of actual work, then your freezer does all the heavy lifting while you go about your life
  • That moment when you bite through the frozen creamy yogurt into a cold blueberry that bursts in your mouth is honestly kind of magical
02 -
  • The first time I made these, I skipped patting the blueberries dry and ended up with icy little puddles around each bite where the water had frozen, so learn from my slightly soggy mistake
  • If you let them thaw for just two minutes before eating, the texture transforms from rock hard to this perfect creamy consistency that's infinitely more enjoyable
03 -
  • If you're using silicone molds, run the bottom under warm water for ten seconds and the bites pop right out without any sticking drama
  • The honey version freezes slightly firmer than maple syrup, so choose honey if you want a more ice cream like texture
