Key element — use thick Greek yogurt
Thick, strained Greek yogurt (such as nonfat or low-fat) freezes firmer and holds its shape better than regular yogurt. Avoid thin or drinkable styles.
Ingredients
Yogurt base
- 2 cups plain nonfat or low-fat Greek yogurt (thick style)
- 1–2 Tbsp sugar-free sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit), to taste
- ½–1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder for extra protein
- Pinch of salt
Blueberries
- ¾–1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
Optional additions
- 1–2 tsp lemon zest
- A few drops of lemon juice
- Sugar-free chocolate chips (small amount)
Swaps
- Dairy-free: Use thick coconut yogurt and a plant-based protein powder if adding extra protein.
- Different fruit: Swap blueberries for raspberries or diced strawberries (adjust carbs).
- Higher protein: Stir in ½–1 scoop of protein powder.
- Sweeter: Increase the sugar-free sweetener to taste.
Instructions
| 1 | Mix the base. In a medium bowl stir together the Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, optional protein powder, and salt until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness. |
| 2 | Add blueberries. Gently fold in the blueberries (and optional lemon zest or chocolate chips) so they are evenly distributed without crushing them too much. |
| 3 | Portion the bites. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded teaspoon- to tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the parchment, spacing them slightly apart. |
| 4 | Freeze. Place the tray in the freezer and freeze until solid, about 1–2 hours. Once firm, transfer the bites to an airtight container or freezer bag for storage. |
| 5 | Serve. Enjoy straight from the freezer. Let sit 1–2 minutes if you prefer a slightly softer texture. |
Pro tips
- Use the thickest Greek yogurt you can find for the best texture and shape.
- A small cookie scoop makes uniform bites that freeze and store easily.
- If adding protein powder, start with a little and mix well to avoid a chalky taste.
- Freeze in a single layer first so the bites don’t stick together.
- These keep well for weeks and make excellent grab-and-go snacks.
