High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites (Printable)
Protein-packed frozen bites blending creamy Greek yogurt with peanut butter. Ready in 15 minutes, these 65-calorie treats make the perfect guilt-free snack.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat)
02 - 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
03 - 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Topping
05 - 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
06 - 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional)
→ Lining
07 - Paper mini muffin liners or silicone molds
# Steps:
01 - Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or arrange silicone candy molds on a flat tray for easy release after freezing.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, portion approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each lined cup or mold cavity, smoothing the tops.
04 - If desired, sprinkle dark chocolate chips and crushed peanuts evenly over the tops of each filled cup.
05 - Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely frozen firm throughout.
06 - Remove from the freezer and let the bites sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving for the best creamy texture.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Each bite packs about 4 grams of protein, so you can snack freely after a workout without any guilt creeping in.
- They taste like little cups of frozen peanut butter cheesecake, but they come together in fifteen minutes with no cooking at all.
02 -
- If you underfill the cups they will freeze too hard and crack when you try to peel the liner away, so be generous with each scoop.
- Stir the peanut butter really well before measuring because separated oil leads to a greasy layer that ruins the creamy texture.
03 -
- Run your spoon under hot water between scoops to keep the mixture from sticking and make the filling process much faster.
- Double the batch because twenty bites sounds like a lot until you share them with one other person and they vanish before dinner.
