Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and well blended.
- Scoop Bites: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small dollops of the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray, spacing them evenly to prevent sticking.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are firm and set. Once frozen, transfer the bites to a container or freezer-safe bag for easy storage.
- Enjoy: Remove bites from the freezer and eat them straight away for a protein-rich, refreshing snack that is both healthy and delicious.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any nut butter of your choice.
- For a vegan option, use a plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavors but is optional.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, or crushed nuts for texture.
- If the bites stick to the parchment paper, let them sit a minute at room temperature before removing.
