Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, at room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, for added nutrition)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Ensure the tray fits comfortably in your freezer with space around it. If your peanut butter is refrigerated, let it come to room temperature to make mixing easier.
  2. Combine the base ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir with a sturdy spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and well combined, with no streaks of peanut butter. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or extra yogurt to thin slightly.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips and optional add-ins: Gently fold mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate pieces into the yogurt mixture. Add cinnamon, chia seeds, and chopped nuts now if using, gently folding them in until evenly distributed.
  4. Portion the bites: Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop 1 to 1.5 tablespoon portions of the mixture onto the parchment-lined tray. Space each bite about an inch apart to prevent freezing together. Smooth the tops lightly with the back of a spoon if desired.
  5. Freeze until firm: Place the tray on a flat surface in the freezer. Freeze for 1-2 hours or until the bites are solid and firm to the touch. Timing may vary based on freezer temperature and size of bites.
  6. Store properly: Once frozen, transfer the bites to a freezer-safe container or a zip-top bag. If stacking, separate layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking. Seal tightly to prevent freezer burn.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Eat the frozen bites straight from the freezer as a cool treat high in protein. For best texture, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 seconds before eating.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
  • Using vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt adds extra sweetness with no need to increase honey or syrup.
  • Adjust the peanut butter amount or type (creamy vs. crunchy) based on texture preference.
  • Chia seeds and flaxseed boost fiber and omega-3 content but are optional.
  • Store bites in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for best freshness.
  • Let bites thaw slightly before eating for a softer bite if preferred.
  • Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted peanut butter to balance sweetness.
