Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites
Servings: yogurt bites
Frozen Greek yogurt bites are the easiest and healthiest sweet treat ever! These frozen parfaits are made with a layer of crunchy granola topped with a mixture of berries and yogurt for a sweet, fruity flavor with lots of fun crunch. They're ideal for the warmer summer months and are the perfect ice cream alternative for kids!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granola (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 1/4 cups Greek vanilla yogurt (look for a lower sugar one)
- 1 1/2 cups mixed berries, larger pieces, diced
Instructions
- Line a 12-cup regular-sized muffin pan with 12 silicone baking cups or muffin liners.
- Add about 2 teaspoons of granola into the bottom of each cup. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add 3/4 cup of the berries and mash them with the back of a fork or potato masher. Fold in 1 1/4 cups yogurt until combined with the mashed berries.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the fruit and yogurt mixture into each cup. Smooth the surface with a spatula and then tap the pan on the counter to smooth out the layers.
- Sprinkle additional granola on the yogurt mixture, about 1 teaspoon.
- Press remaining berries into the top of each yogurt cup, using a few per cup.
- Place the pan in the freezer and chill until firm, about 2-4 hours.
- Pop each yogurt and granola cup out of the mold. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can make your own granola (we love this almond butter granola) or look for a lower sugar store-bought granola. Smaller pieces of granola work best for these bites rather than larger chunks.
- Look for a lower sugar vanilla Greek yogurt. We used the Two Good Danone Vanilla Greek yogurt for this recipe. Alternatively, you can use plain Greek yogurt and sweeten it with a bit of honey or maple syrup and splash of vanilla extract.
