They’re cold, creamy, juicy little flavor bombs that hit the snack spot just right. And bonus—they’re healthy enough to convince yourself it’s basically a wellness ritual.
Why Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Bites Are a Total Game-Changer
First of all, they’re stupidly easy to make. Like, toddler-with-a-spoon easy. No oven, no stove, no adult supervision required (well, almost). They’re also:
- Naturally sweet thanks to blueberries.
- Creamy and tangy from Greek yogurt.
- Customizable (chocolate chips? go for it).
- Impressive-looking even though they’re zero effort.
- Freezer-friendly and perfect for batch prepping.
You’ll want to pop these by the handful. Just don’t blame me when they disappear within 30 minutes of freezing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (frozen works in a pinch, but fresh = peak snack vibes)
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, vanilla, or go wild with honey flavor)
- 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional but highly recommended if you want that sweet kick)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (because we’re fancy)
Optional Mix-ins:
- Mini chocolate chips
- Crushed granola
- A sprinkle of cinnamon (trust me)
Tools & Kitchen Gadgets Used
- Mixing bowl (because, duh)
- Spoon or silicone spatula (for swirling the magic)
- Baking sheet (or any flat tray that fits in your freezer)
- Parchment paper (unless you enjoy scraping yogurt off metal)
- Toothpick or skewer (to keep your fingers clean, but optional)
- Freezer (you knew this was coming)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you skip this step, may the frozen yogurt gods have mercy on your soul.
- In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla until it’s all smooth and creamy like a yogurt commercial.
- Drop blueberries into the yogurt, coat them well. You want them fully dressed for this snack party.
- Using a fork, spoon, or toothpick, place the coated blueberries individually on the lined tray. Yes, it’s a bit fiddly. Yes, it’s worth it.
- Freeze for at least 1-2 hours or until solid. Resist peeking every 10 minutes.
- Once frozen, transfer to a zip-top bag or airtight container. Snack freely.

- Berry Bonanza: Mix in raspberries or halved strawberries.
- Chocolate Dipped: Freeze first, then dip the bottoms in melted dark chocolate. Boom, gourmet!
