High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites are a delicious and healthy snack that combines creamy peanut butter with tangy Greek yogurt and rich dark chocolate. Perfect for a quick energy boost or a refreshing treat, they are easy to make and satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (like PB Fit, PB2, or similar brands)
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth and well combined, ensuring the mixture is evenly distributed.
2. Step 2: Line a plate or a small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture onto the prepared surface, making about 6 evenly sized bites. Freeze for 10-20 minutes until solid to the touch.
3. Step 3: While the bites freeze, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave or double boiler. Stir regularly until you have a smooth, liquid chocolate mixture.
4. Step 4: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each bite into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using, before the chocolate sets. Place the coated bites in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
5. Step 5: After the chocolate has set, serve your yogurt bites immediately or store remaining bites in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Tips & Variations

• Use natural peanut butter without added sugar for a cleaner flavor and healthier snack.
• Swap dark chocolate chips for milk or white chocolate to vary the sweetness.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture for extra flavor.
• For a nut-free version, substitute powdered peanut butter with powdered almond butter or sunflower seed butter.

Storage

Store any leftover yogurt bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To enjoy, simply take them out of the fridge and let them sit a few minutes to soften slightly before eating. These bites are best served chilled but can be refrozen if needed.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

You can freeze these bites for up to 2 weeks. Make sure they are stored in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing any freezer odors.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Yogurt Mixture

• 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Chocolate Coating

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to portion the yogurt mixture into around 6 evenly sized bites on the prepared surface. Place the tray in the freezer for 10-20 minutes or until the bites feel solid to the touch.
3. Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the bites freeze, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips together with 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Use a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler, stirring regularly until smooth and fully liquified.
4. Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Remove the frozen yogurt bites and dip each thoroughly into the melted chocolate. After dipping, optionally sprinkle each bite with flaky sea salt to enhance flavor. Place the chocolate-coated bites in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely.
5. Serve and Store: Once the chocolate has set, the bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

• For a thicker chocolate shell, double dip the bites by repeating the chocolate coating step after the first coat sets.
• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
• Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor; adjust quantities for preference.
• Store bites in an airtight container in the fridge to prevent moisture build-up.
• Can be customized with your favorite nut butters or sweeteners.
