Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creamier bites, or low-fat if you’re watching calories)
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter (natural, without additives)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan twist)

Optional Flavor Boosters

  • Chocolate chips (mini or chopped), for extra indulgence
  • Chia seeds, for added fiber and omega-3s
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, for a warm, cozy aroma
  • Pinch of cinnamon, to enhance flavor

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. If using vanilla extract or cinnamon, add them at this stage and stir them in thoroughly for enhanced flavor.
  2. Portion Out: Use a mini-muffin tin or silicone mold. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cavity, distributing it evenly to create uniform-sized bites.
  3. Add Toppings (Optional): Press mini chocolate chips or sprinkle chia seeds onto each portion for added texture and taste. These toppings add a delightful crunch and nutrition boost.
  4. Freeze: Place the filled tray in the freezer and let it chill for at least 2 hours until the bites are firm. This step requires patience but is essential for perfect results.
  5. Enjoy: Once frozen solid, run warm water briefly on the bottom of the mold to loosen the bites. Transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for easy storage and grab a few whenever you need a quick, satisfying snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter, though peanut butter offers the creamiest and most classic flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and choose plant-based Greek yogurt alternatives.
  • Store the bites in a sealed, freezer-safe container or bag to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
  • If you prefer sweeter bites, increase honey or maple syrup by 1 tablespoon.
  • These bites are perfect as a pre or post-workout snack due to their protein content.
