FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but Greek yogurt is thicker and holds its shape better when frozen. Regular yogurt will still work but may be slightly icier.
Can I use frozen berries?
You can, but it’s best to thaw and pat them dry first to prevent excess moisture.
How do I keep the bites from sticking to the tray?
Use parchment paper or a silicone mold to easily remove the bites once frozen.
Are these good for kids?
Absolutely. They’re a fun, healthy treat for kids and easy for little hands to grab and eat.
Can I add protein powder?
Yes, mixing in a scoop of protein powder can boost the nutritional value, especially for post-workout snacks.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, they’re perfect for prepping in advance and storing in the freezer for when you need a quick snack.
How long do they last in the freezer?
They’re best eaten within a month for optimal texture and flavor.
Are these bites suitable for a low-sugar diet?
Use unsweetened yogurt and skip the honey or maple syrup to reduce sugar content.
Can I add flavorings?
Vanilla extract, cinnamon, or lemon zest can add a nice twist to the base yogurt mixture.
What’s the best way to serve them?
Serve directly from the freezer on a chilled plate to prevent melting. They’re great for parties, lunchboxes, or as a cool afternoon treat.
