Looking for a cool refreshing snack for summer? Then you MUST try these frozen yogurt bites!
Ingredients:
- Plain Yogurt (or Greek Yogurt for extra protein!)
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup fruit of choice, chopped (we recommend strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or bananas!)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil
Why Plain/Greek Yogurt?
We recommend using Plain Yogurt in place of other yogurts to reduce the amount of added sugar to the recipe – making it healthier! Using Greek yogurt adds an extra health benefit as Greek yogurt contains more protein compared to regular yogurt. It’s also a good source of calcium and provides probiotics that are good for your gut health.
Method:
STEP 1:
Line a tray with baking paper. You could also use a freezer safe container if you do not have a tray small enough to fit into the freezer, however a tray does work best)
STEP 2:
Stir together yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla in a bowl. Add in your fruit of choice, stir to combine.
STEP 3:
Add scoops of the yogurt mixture onto the tray to form small clusters. Next, place them in the freezer until they are completely solid (about 1-2 hours)
STEP 4:
Once the clusters are frozen, melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between each one, until the chocolate is completely melted.
STEP 5:
Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate. We recommend using a spoon to ensure each cluster is thoroughly coated. Once coated with chocolate, place each cluster back on the prepared baking sheet.
STEP 6:
Place the yogurt bites back in the freezer for a couple more minutes to ensure the chocolate hardens. Enjoy!
