Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
Rich in protein and creamy, this base keeps the bites light and satisfying. - 2 tablespoons honey
Adds a touch of natural sweetness. Feel free to substitute with a sugar-free sweetener to lower the SmartPoints. - 1 cup fresh blueberries
Packed with antioxidants and natural sweetness, they bring a burst of flavor to each bite. - ½ cup slivered almonds
For a delightful crunch and healthy fats. You can also substitute with almond flour or powdered peanut butter for more protein.
Instructions:
- Mix the yogurt and honey: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the plain Greek yogurt and honey (or your chosen sweetener) until smooth and well combined.
- Add the blueberries and almonds: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and slivered almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Shape the bites: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls. If the mixture is too soft, chill it for a few minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Freeze the bites: Arrange the yogurt bites on a parchment-lined tray and freeze them for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Optional: For extra texture and flavor, roll the bites in shredded coconut or crushed nuts before freezing.
