Blueberry Greek Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These Blueberry Greek Yogurt Bites are creamy, slightly tangy, and naturally sweet frozen treats. Perfect as a post-workout snack, afternoon pick-me-up, or guilt-free dessert, they’re easy to make and fun to enjoy straight from the freezer.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat for creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, or erythritol (for keto)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for texture and fiber)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and honey (if using). Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently and mashing slightly to create a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds if desired. Let the compote cool completely.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
3. Step 3: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of yogurt into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin or ice cube tray, filling about ¾ full. Add ½ teaspoon of cooled blueberry compote on top and gently swirl with a toothpick or knife to create a marbled effect.
4. Step 4: Place the tray flat in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
5. Step 5: Remove the bites carefully from the molds. If needed, let sit for 2–3 minutes at room temperature to loosen. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture, or 2% for a lighter bite.
• Swap honey with erythritol or stevia for a keto-friendly version.
• Add ½ scoop of vanilla or unflavored whey protein to the yogurt for extra protein.
• Try other fruits like raspberries, strawberries, or mango instead of blueberries.
• Sprinkle crushed almonds, coconut flakes, or granola on top before freezing for added crunch.
• Be sure to cool the blueberry compote fully before swirling to avoid melting the yogurt.

Storage

Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Before eating, let them thaw at room temperature for 2–4 minutes to achieve the perfect creamy texture.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Yogurt Base:

• 1½ cups (370g) plain Greek yogurt (choose 2% or full-fat for extra creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or erythritol for a keto-friendly version)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Swirl:

• ¾ cup (100g) fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (adds a bright pop of flavor)
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for texture and fiber)

Instructions

1. Make the Blueberry Swirl: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and optional honey. Let the berries cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they soften and release their juices. Mash lightly with a spoon to achieve a jam-like consistency. Once thickened, remove from heat and mix in chia seeds if using—they’ll help create a slightly gelled swirl once frozen. Allow the compote to cool completely to prevent melting the yogurt in the next step.
2. Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed, especially if your yogurt is particularly tangy or you want a dessert-like flavor.
3. Assemble the Bites: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin tray or ice cube tray, filling roughly ¾ of the way. Add ½ teaspoon of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt portion. Use a toothpick, skewer, or the tip of a knife to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect. Keep the swirls gentle for a pretty two-toned look.
4. Freeze Until Solid: Place the tray flat in the freezer and allow the bites to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
5. Enjoy & Store: Carefully remove the bites from the silicone molds. If using a harder mold, let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to make unmolding easier. Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving, let them thaw slightly for 2–4 minutes to reach the perfect creamy consistency.

Notes

• Keto-Friendly: Swap honey for erythritol or stevia to make the recipe keto-compliant.
• Extra Protein: Add ½ scoop of vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder to the yogurt base for a protein boost.
• Fruit Variations: Substitute blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or mango for different fruity flavors.
• Added Texture: Sprinkle crushed almonds, coconut flakes, or granola bits on top before freezing for a crunchier bite.
• Use silicone molds for easy removal of the bites after freezing.
• Cool the blueberry compote completely before adding it to the yogurt to prevent melting.
• Swirl gently to keep the marbled effect distinct and visually appealing.
• Store bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
• Allow bites to thaw 2–4 minutes at room temperature before eating for optimal texture.
