High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites are a delicious and refreshing snack packed with flavor and nutrition. Combining creamy peanut butter with tangy Greek yogurt and a rich chocolate coating, they’re perfect for a quick energy boost or a guilt-free dessert.

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 the mixture is smooth and well combined.
2. Step 2: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to portion the yogurt mixture onto the parchment, making about 6 evenly sized bites. Freeze for 10-20 minutes until solid.
3. Step 3: While the bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler. Stir regularly until the chocolate is smooth and liquid.
4. Step 4: Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, coating thoroughly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets. Place the coated bites in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden.
5. Step 5: Once the chocolate has set, enjoy immediately or store the bites in the fridge for 3-4 days for optimal freshness.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier bites and better texture.
• Swap maple syrup for honey or agave syrup if preferred.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture for extra flavor.
• For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and use an alternative to powdered peanut butter.

Storage

Store these frozen yogurt bites in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep fresh for 3-4 days. If they soften, simply return them to the freezer briefly before serving. Avoid storing at room temperature to keep the chocolate coating firm.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

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 the full fat Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
2. Form and Freeze the Bites: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture into six evenly sized bites on the parchment. Place the tray in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes or until the bites are firm to the touch.
3. Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the yogurt bites freeze, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler. Stir regularly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt on each coated bite before the chocolate hardens. Transfer the coated bites to the fridge to set the chocolate fully.
5. Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set, the bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days to keep them fresh and tasty.

Notes

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture and flavor.
• Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor.
• Dark chocolate chips from brands like Lily’s provide a lower sugar option.
• Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness.
• Store in the refrigerator rather than freezer after coating to preserve the chocolate texture.
• These bites are perfect as a quick protein-rich snack or a guilt-free dessert alternative.
