Ingredients
Scale
Greek Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably non-fat or low-fat)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup if using, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and add more honey or maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired, then stir again to incorporate.
- Scoop into Molds: Using a spoon or small scoop, evenly distribute the mixture into an ice cube tray or silicone mold compartments.
- Remove Air Bubbles: Gently tap the tray on the countertop to release any trapped air bubbles and level the mixture for even freezing.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and allow the bites to freeze solid for at least 2 hours.
- Remove Bites: Once completely frozen, carefully pop the bites out from the tray or mold. Silicone molds make this easier.
- Store or Serve: Serve immediately as a frozen treat or transfer the bites to an airtight container; store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Notes

- Honey or maple syrup is optional; adjust sweetness to taste.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for variation.
- Ensure bites are fully frozen before removing to maintain shape.
- Perfect as a quick, protein-rich snack or healthy dessert option.
