Strawberry High Protein Yogurt Bites (Printable)

No-bake frozen treats combining Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and protein powder for a nutritious grab-and-go snack or breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy & Protein

01 - 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, 2% or 0%)
02 - 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder (about 30 g)

→ Fruit

03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced

→ Sweetener & Extras

04 - 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
05 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of fine sea salt

→ Coating

07 - 1/2 cup dark or white chocolate chips (optional, for dipping or drizzling)

# How-to Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
03 - Gently fold in the diced strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.
04 - Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out 1-tablespoon mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
05 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm and set.
06 - If coating with chocolate, melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each interval until smooth. Dip each frozen bite in chocolate or drizzle over the top. Return to the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
07 - Transfer bites to an airtight container and store in the freezer. Let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for optimal texture.

# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • They are secretly meal prep disguised as a treat, so you actually look forward to eating healthy
  • The texture becomes almost like ice cream but with way less guilt and way more protein
02 -
  • These will become rock hard if left in the freezer too long, so always let them soften for a few minutes before eating
  • The protein powder can make the mixture taste chalky if not mixed thoroughly, so really whisk it well
03 -
  • Use flavored protein powder to skip the sweetener step entirely
  • Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before scooping to allow air bubbles to rise
