High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites Recipe

Introduction

These High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites make a delicious and nutritious snack. Combining creamy Greek yogurt with peanut butter and a rich dark chocolate coating, they offer a perfect balance of protein and indulgence.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB2)
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s brand)
• Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth and well combined.
2. Step 2: Line a plate or small baking tray with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the yogurt mixture onto the surface, making about 6 evenly sized bites. Freeze for 10-20 minutes until solid to the touch.
3. Step 3: While the bites freeze, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth and liquid.
4. Step 4: Once the yogurt bites are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, then place the coated bites in the fridge to let the chocolate set completely.
5. Step 5: After the chocolate has set, enjoy your yogurt bites. Store any leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Tips & Variations

• For a different flavor, swap maple syrup with honey or agave nectar.
• Use natural peanut butter to reduce added sugar and additives.
• If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.
• Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few mini chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture for extra texture.

Storage

Store the finished peanut butter yogurt bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you’d like to enjoy them more like frozen treats, keep them in the freezer and allow them to soften slightly before eating. Reheat is not recommended as the texture will change.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat Greek yogurt instead of full-fat?

Yes, you can use low-fat Greek yogurt, but the bites may be less creamy and slightly less rich in flavor.

What can I substitute for powdered peanut butter?

If you don’t have powdered peanut butter, you can use an equal amount of peanut butter in the yogurt mixture, but reduce the creamy peanut butter accordingly to keep the texture balanced.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Yogurt Mixture

• 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB2)

Chocolate Coating

• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s brand)
• Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter, 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 tbsp maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
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 onto the parchment in evenly sized scoops, making about 6 bites. Place the tray in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the bites are solid to the touch.
3. Melt the Chocolate for Coating: While the yogurt bites are freezing, melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips together with 1 tsp coconut oil using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted.
4. Dip and Set the Chocolate-Coated Bites: Once the yogurt bites are firm, dip each bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets. Place the 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 leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture; nonfat yogurt may result in a less rich bite.
• Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content but retains peanut flavor; substitute with natural peanut butter if preferred but adjust other fats accordingly.
• Melting chocolate gently is key to prevent burning; microwave in short intervals or use a double boiler.
• Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweet and creamy flavors.
• Keep bites frozen or refrigerated before serving to maintain their shape and texture.
• These bites are best consumed within 3-4 days when stored properly in the fridge.
