Introduction

These High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites are a delicious and nutritious snack that combines creamy peanut butter flavor with tangy Greek yogurt and a rich dark chocolate coating. Perfect for a quick energy boost or a guilt-free treat, they are easy to make and satisfying to eat.

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. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, form the yogurt mixture into evenly sized bites and place them on the prepared surface. Freeze for 10-20 minutes until solid to the touch.
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 fully melted.
4. Step 4: Once the yogurt bites are firm, dip each bite into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets. Place coated bites in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
5. Step 5: Serve immediately or store any leftover bites in the fridge for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
• Swap maple syrup for honey or agave syrup if preferred.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture for extra flavor.
• Use different nut butters like almond or cashew for a unique twist.
• Sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top instead of sea salt for added crunch.

Storage

Store the finished bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, keep them frozen and thaw briefly before serving. Reheat is not necessary; enjoy them cold for the best texture and flavor.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt?

Yes, you can use low-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt, but the bites may have a slightly less creamy texture and less rich flavor compared to full-fat yogurt.

What if I don’t have powdered peanut butter?

If you don’t have powdered peanut butter, you can substitute with extra creamy peanut butter, but reduce the amount slightly to keep the mixture from becoming too wet.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Yogurt Mixture

• 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit, PB2, or similar)
• 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 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. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture into approximately 6 evenly sized bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10-20 minutes, or until the bites are firm and solid to the touch.
3. Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the yogurt bites are freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips along with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
4. Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are solid, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Sprinkle each coated bite with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets to enhance flavor. Place the chocolate-coated bites in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
5. Serve and Store: After the chocolate has set, the yogurt bites are ready to enjoy. Store any leftover bites in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

• For best results, use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein content.
• Powdered peanut butter helps keep the mixture light while adding protein.
• The bites can be made ahead and stored in the freezer or fridge depending on your preference.
• Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness and richness.
• For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
