Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love these because they’re quick, refreshing, and packed with protein. They curb my sweet cravings without the sugar crash, and I can store them in the freezer for a grab-and-go snack anytime. Plus, the peanut butter and Greek yogurt combo gives that perfect balance of creaminess, sweetness, and saltiness — it’s indulgence without the guilt.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (I use 2% or full-fat for creaminess)

• ½ cup natural peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter)

• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Optional mix-ins or toppings:

  • Mini chocolate chips

  • Crushed peanuts

  • A drizzle of melted chocolate

  • Protein powder (1 scoop vanilla or unflavored, optional for extra protein)

Directions

1. Mix the base. I combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. If I’m adding protein powder, I mix it in here too. I stir until smooth and fully combined.

2. Prepare the molds. I line a mini muffin tin with silicone liners or use a silicone ice cube tray. I spoon the mixture evenly into each section, filling them about three-quarters full.

3. Add toppings. I sprinkle mini chocolate chips, crushed peanuts, or drizzle a little melted chocolate over the top for extra flavor and texture.

4. Freeze. I place the tray in the freezer for about 2–3 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.

5. Serve. Once frozen, I pop them out of the molds and enjoy immediately. For a creamier texture, I let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before biting in.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes around 12–16 bites, depending on mold size. It takes 10 minutes to prepare and about 2–3 hours to freeze.

Variations

• Sometimes I swirl in a bit of cocoa powder for a chocolate-peanut butter version.

• For extra crunch, I mix in chopped nuts or granola before freezing.

• I like using almond butter or sunflower seed butter if I want a nut-free option.

• To make them taste like peanut butter cups, I layer melted dark chocolate on the bottom and top before freezing.

• For a fruity twist, I mix in a spoonful of mashed banana or blended strawberries.

Storage/Reheating

I store these bites in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. They stay firm and delicious straight from the freezer. When I’m ready to enjoy one, I let it sit for a minute or two to soften slightly for the perfect texture.

FAQs

Can I use nonfat Greek yogurt?

Yes, but I find that full-fat or 2% yogurt gives a creamier, richer bite. Nonfat yogurt makes them a little icier once frozen.

How can I make them higher in protein?

I add a scoop of protein powder to the mixture — vanilla or unflavored works best so it doesn’t overpower the peanut butter taste.

Can I use a different sweetener?

Definitely. I’ve made them with agave, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener — all work well. Just adjust to your taste preference.

Do these melt quickly at room temperature?

They soften rather than melt. I usually enjoy them within 10 minutes of taking them out of the freezer for the best texture.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes. I use a dairy-free yogurt (like coconut or almond-based) and ensure my protein powder is plant-based if I’m keeping it vegan.

Conclusion

These High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites are my favorite guilt-free indulgence — cold, creamy, and packed with flavor and nutrition.
