How long do these frozen yogurt bites last in the freezer?

About a month in a sealed container or freezer bag. Past that they don’t go bad, exactly — they just start tasting like the freezer and the texture goes a little grainy. If I know a batch is going to sit, I make a half recipe.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

You can, but regular yogurt has more water in it, so the bites come out softer and a bit icy. If that’s all you’ve got, dump it into a mesh strainer lined with a paper towel or cheesecloth and let it sit for half an hour. You’ll be surprised how much liquid drains off — that’s what gets you back to a creamy texture.

What can I use instead of peanut butter?

Any smooth nut or seed butter. Almond and cashew are great; sunflower seed butter is the move if you’re keeping it nut-free for school. Stir it well first (especially the natural stuff that separates) and taste the mix before you sweeten — some spreads are already salted and sweetened.

Can I adjust the sweetness or skip the honey?

Absolutely. Honey, maple syrup, or a few drops of liquid stevia all work. One thing to know: cold dulls sweetness, so taste the mix at room temperature and make it a touch sweeter than you actually want it. Cutting sugar? Extra vanilla and a pinch of salt will trick your tongue into thinking it’s sweeter than it is.

Do these bites need to thaw before eating?

No — straight from the freezer is best. Give them two minutes on the counter if you want them a little softer, but don’t let them sit much longer than that or they’ll slump. I pull out only what we’re about to eat.

Are these frozen yogurt bites good for kids?

Yes — they’re basically frozen yogurt with chocolate chips, so kids are already on board. Mine like to roll theirs in extra chocolate chips or crushed cereal before they go in the freezer, which turns it into a project instead of a chore — same idea as my Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies. For toddlers, keep the bites small and let them sit out a minute first, since they come out of the freezer pretty firm.

These frozen Greek yogurt peanut butter bites with chocolate chips are a creamy, high protein snack you can keep in the freezer. Mix Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and mini chocolate chips, then freeze into bite sized treats that work for after school snacks, post workout bites, or healthy desserts.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups plain Greek yogurt, full fat or 2%
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
Pinch of salt, optional

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and a pinch of salt if using, making sure they are evenly distributed through the yogurt mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop mounds of the mixture onto the sheet, leaving a little space between each bite. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if you like.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.
Once frozen, transfer the bites to an airtight container or freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month and enjoy straight from the freezer.

Notes

Texture: For the creamiest bites, use full fat or 2% Greek yogurt. Very low fat yogurt can turn icy when frozen.

Sweetness: The base should taste slightly sweeter than you want, since freezing dulls sweetness a bit.

Serving: Take out only what you plan to eat so the rest stay firm in the freezer.
