How to Make Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Bites
Step 1: Mix the Yogurt Base
In a mixing bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Add the Strawberries
Gently fold in chopped or thinly sliced strawberries. You can also reserve a few slices to place on top of each bite.
Step 3: Portion the Mixture
Spoon the mixture into silicone molds, mini muffin cups, or onto a parchment-lined tray in small scoops. Top each bite with a strawberry slice or sprinkle of topping, if desired.
Step 4: Freeze
Transfer to the freezer and let set for 2–3 hours or until completely frozen.
Step 5: Remove and Store
Once frozen solid, pop the bites out of the molds or off the parchment and place them in a freezer-safe container for storage.
Leftovers & Storage

Yes! Just let them sit out for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly. You can also cut larger bites into smaller pieces for easier eating.

Fresh strawberries work best for texture, but thawed and well-drained frozen strawberries can also be used in a pinch.
