FAQs
Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?
Yes, flavored Greek yogurt can be used, but keep in mind it might change the sweetness and overall flavor of the bites. Adjust honey accordingly.
How do I prevent the yogurt bites from sticking together?
Freeze the bites on a lined baking sheet first until solid, then transfer them to a container. This prevents them from clumping together in storage.
