THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF FROZEN YOGURT BITES
Aside from being delicious, frozen yogurt bites are extremely healthy. The following benefits are an added bonus to their refreshing taste.
Gut Healthy
As a fermented food, yogurt contains natural probiotic cultures that actually strengthen the digestive tract. If purchasing the yogurt to use in this recipe, look for Greek yogurt that contains even more added probiotics to aid in gut health.
Fresh Ingredients
Each yogurt bite is packed with heart healthy fresh fruit. They also include antioxidants from both the fruit and the high quality honey.
Gluten Free
Depending on the type of yogurt that is used in the recipe, these yogurt bites can be considered gluten free. Be sure to check the label on the yogurt to determine if there is any gluten included. Your best bet, if trying to make this recipe gluten free, is to look for plain whole-milk Greek yogurt to use.

STRAWBERRY FROZEN YOGURT BITES RECIPE INGREDIENTS
It doesn’t get much more simple than this three ingredient recipe!
Ingredients
Fresh Strawberries (about 12)
2 cups Greek Yogurt. I used vanilla flavored yogurt, but you could also opt for a more natural plain yogurt, and flavor it with organic vanilla extract.
1/4 cup honey
Kitchen Tools
Spatula
knife + cutting board
mixing bowl or measuring cup with pour spout
silicone candy mold
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE FROZEN YOGURT BITES
- Wash strawberries and cut off the tops. Cut most of the strawberries into quarters. These will be chopped up in the blender and do not need to be in super small pieces. Cut the remaining strawberries into small pieces to be used as garnish.
- Layer ingredients into the blender or food processor. Be sure to place the strawberries at the bottom.
- Blend until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly
- Transfer the mixture into a bowl or measuring cup with a pour spout. Though this step is optional, it does make the next step much easier!
- Pour the mixture into silicone candy molds. Alternately, you can use muffin tins or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add strawberry garnish
- Freeze for 2-3 hours
- Remove from candy molds. The strawberry yogurt bites are ready to be enjoyed! To prevent freezer burn, place the yogurt bites in an airtight container if you plan to eat later.

I love my large glass batter bowl. It makes pouring into the small candy molds extremely easy. It is also handy for pancake and waffle batter, and a variety of other uses.
These are my favorite candy molds. The frozen yogurt bites pop right out! Because candy molds are available in a wide range of shapes and patterns, you can find the perfect one for your use.
