High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites (Print Version)
Creamy frozen yogurt bites with peanut butter, ready in minutes and packed with protein.
# What You Need:
→ Yogurt Mixture
01 - 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt, nonfat or 2%
02 - ½ cup natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
03 - 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Toppings
05 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
06 - 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
07 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
# Directions:
01 - Line a mini muffin tin or small silicone molds with paper liners, or lightly coat with nonstick spray.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is completely smooth and well blended.
03 - Spoon the yogurt mixture evenly into the prepared molds, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
04 - Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and coconut flakes over the filled molds, gently pressing the toppings into the surface so they adhere.
05 - Place the tin or molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.
06 - Remove the frozen bites from the molds and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the freezer and enjoy directly from frozen.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These taste like peanut butter cup filling but somehow count as a smart snack choice.
- They take about ten minutes of actual work and then the freezer does everything else.
02 -
- Letting the bites sit at room temperature for two or three minutes before eating transforms the texture from ice cube into something creamy and satisfying.
- Natural peanut butter separates so stir it thoroughly before measuring or your mixture will be greasy at the top and dry at the bottom.
03 -
- Use full fat Greek yogurt if you want a richer denser bite that feels more like ice cream than a snack.
- Wet your spoon slightly before filling the molds and the mixture will slide off cleanly without making a mess.
