Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek Yogurt: I suggest using plain Greek yogurt for a balance of tanginess and creaminess. If you’re looking for a sweeter option, try flavored Greek yogurt. Non-dairy alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt work too!
Sweetener: Honey or maple syrup adds a nice touch of sweetness. If you’re vegan, use maple syrup. Agave syrup is another great option. For a sugar-free alternative, try stevia or erythritol!
Fruits: Raspberries and blueberries are perfect for flavor and nutrition. You can substitute with any berries or diced fruits like strawberries, mangoes, or peaches depending on what you have available.
Nuts or Granola: Adding chopped nuts or granola gives a nice crunch. If you’re nut-free, try using seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds instead!
How Do I Make the Yogurt Bites Perfectly?
Creating delicious frozen yogurt bites is simple, but a few tips can help you perfect them. Start with mixing the yogurt and sweetener thoroughly to ensure even flavor throughout. When dividing the mixture, keep the texture in mind—gently fold in your fruits to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Use silicone molds for easy removal; they make it simpler to pop out the bites.
- Don’t overfill the molds; leave some space for expansion when freezing.
- Freeze them long enough for a firm texture, usually about 3-4 hours.
Finally, if they stick to the molds, run warm water over the outside to help release them. Enjoy your healthy snack!

- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 cup chopped banana or banana chips (plus extra for garnish)

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes of prep time, plus 3-4 hours to freeze. It’s a quick and easy process to create these tasty bites that you can enjoy later, making them a perfect snack option!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preparing the Yogurt Mixture:
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if you want to add some sweetness. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.
2. Dividing the Mixtures:
Now, divide the yogurt mixture into two separate bowls. In one bowl, gently fold in the raspberries and a few chopped banana pieces. In the other bowl, mix in the blueberries and, if you like, some chopped nuts or granola for that extra crunch.
3. Filling the Molds:
Line an ice cube tray or silicone mold with parchment paper for easier removal later. Then, spoon the yogurt mixtures into the molds, filling each spot about three-quarters full to allow for expansion while freezing.
4. Adding Garnishes:
Top each yogurt portion with a few extra frozen berries and some chopped banana for a pretty and tasty garnish that makes these bites look even more inviting!
5. Freezing:
Place the tray in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 3-4 hours or until solid. The longer they freeze, the firmer they will become.
6. Enjoying the Bites:
Once frozen, carefully pop the yogurt bites out of the molds. You can serve them immediately or store them in a sealed container in the freezer for later. Enjoy these nutritious and delicious frozen Greek yogurt bites as a refreshing snack or dessert!
Happy snacking! 😊
Can I Use Different Flavors of Yogurt?
Absolutely! You can use any flavor of Greek yogurt you like—vanilla, strawberry, or even chocolate! Just be mindful that flavored yogurts may add extra sweetness, so adjust your sweetener accordingly if you’re using honey or maple syrup.
How Can I Store Leftover Yogurt Bites?
Store any leftover yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer. They will keep well for up to a month. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper so they don’t stick together!
Can I Substitute the Fruits?
Definitely! Feel free to mix it up with any fruits you prefer or have on hand. Try strawberries, mangoes, or even peaches. Just ensure they are chopped into small pieces for even distribution in the bites.
What Should I Do If They Stick to the Mold?
If your yogurt bites are having a hard time coming out of the mold, run the outside of the mold under warm water for a few seconds. This will help loosen them up without melting your yogurt bites!
