2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Fresh blueberries: They add natural sweetness and antioxidants. Frozen blueberries work too, but they may make the mixture a bit watery.

How to Make Blueberry Greek Yogurt Bites

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients on the counter. Having everything ready makes the process smooth and enjoyable.

Step 2: Mix the Yogurt Base

In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. This mixture is the creamy foundation of your bites.

Step 3: Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Be careful not to mash them, as you want those lovely little bursts of flavor intact.

Step 4: Fill Your Molds

Using a spatula, spoon the yogurt mixture into your silicone mold or ice cube tray. Fill each cavity to the top for perfectly sized bites.

Step 5: Freeze the Bites

Place the filled mold in the freezer. Let them freeze for at least 3-4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

Step 6: Remove the Bites

Once frozen, carefully pop the yogurt bites out of the mold. If they stick, run a little warm water over the bottom of the mold.

Step 7: Store the Bites

Transfer your yogurt bites to an airtight container. This keeps them fresh and ready for snacking.

Step 8: Enjoy!

Grab a bite whenever you need a refreshing snack. These little gems are perfect for a quick pick-me-up!

Pro Tip: Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less honey!
